Hey Explorers!

Did you know?
The First Solar-Powered Car Was Built in 1955!

The first-ever solar-powered car was created by William G. Cobb of General Motors and showcased at the Chicago Powerama convention. This revolutionary vehicle, known as the "Sunmobile," was only 15 inches long and entirely powered by solar energy! 

More Info:

•  Introduced as a concept for renewable energy transportation
•  Powered by 12 selenium photovoltaic cells, converting sunlight into electricity
•  Inspired early ideas for sustainable vehicles, paving the way for modern EVs
•  A true vision of how innovation could help reduce reliance on fossil fuels

Though it never became a commercial product, the Sunmobile was a glimpse into a future where cars could run on sunlight! 
From a tiny prototype to today’s cutting-edge solar-powered cars, it’s fascinating to see how far we’ve come!
