Pffft… what’s a little lithium between friends. Shouldn’t we all just worship the sun and ignore math? ; )

Actually, it’s more environmentally friendly to use petroleum when it’s this efficient. Mining the materials needed to generate and store electricity destroys the environment, and although electric vehicles are more efficient on average than petrol they’re not as efficient per-mile as this prototype racecar.

So… that’s why they used gas.

Why are they still using gas???

Solar charging of batteries will beat the MPG and save the environment.

Some of these college groups are so behind the times….. Oh yeah the oil companies are supporting the effort….
