MOTIVATION Desire to work with Solar Technology Interested in transportation project Environmental conservation interests Have an excuse to drive a golf cart to and from campus
4
CURRENT METHODOLOGY (SEV) ►Solar Electric Vehicle ►Gas Power converted to Electric ►Cost: $25,000
5
CURRENT METHODOLOGY (TESLA SUPERCHARGER) ►Solar Power station for the model S ►Electric car using charge stations ►Cost: $62,400 (1,170 for Vehicle Dock) ►Super Charge station incorporate PV cells (Separate Assembly)
6
CURRENT METHODOLOGY (UCF ZENN) ►Zero Emission No Noise ►Electric Car modified with a PV array ►Cost: $15,995 (just car, no integrated PV hookup) ►Range of 35 Miles
7
GOALS Electric vehicle Powered solely by photovoltaic cells Able to drive as long as possible given adequate sunlight Able to charge while driving Vehicle drive modes to control performance Performance mode Balanced mode Eco mode Clearly Demonstrate vehicle information to user Battery life/longevity Vehicle current mode Charge time Range
8
SPECIFICATIONS Cart can reach top speeds in excess of 10 miles per hour Considered normal for this model cart Cart will have parallel charging circuits Vehicle load capacity of 700lbs (including passengers and all components) Charge from no energy in 6 hours during optimal sunlight exposure
