The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) students drove the SUV, which doubles as a small campervan, from Tangier in northern Morocco across dry riverbeds, steep mountain passes, and loose sand before arriving at the Sahara desert three days later.

“It was an incredible trip with a positive ending. We were able to drive the entire trip on the sun’s energy and did not depend on charging stations"

I thought about going with desserts but that might have pushed it over the edge.

So, looking at my comment history, have you figured out that I only have 5% of the toxicity that makes up your whole comment history 🤡 and that 5% is just my back and forth with your clown ass lmao

How does it charge with only three hours of sunlight?

[-] abhibeckert@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Probably by plugging it in. It does have a battery.
