Sunswift Solar Car
eVe is the worlds fastest electric car over 500km and the first road legal solar car in Australia.
eVe represents a shift in solar-powered transport from conceptual, purpose-built race cars to those capable of meeting commercial vehicle standards of performance, comfort and safety. eVe demonstrates the viability of solar technology in the emerging electric vehicle market and how Australian students can make an impact with global significance. eVe is Australia’s first zero-emission, road-legal, solar powered vehicle! While designed for comfort and practicality, eVe makes no sacrifices in performance with a max speed of 140km/h and an 800km range.
Our purpose is to build innovative, sustainable and world record setting solar cars to reshape the automotive industry and inspire others.
