Solar powered electric vehicle system and method

A solar-powered vehicle comprising:

• a body having a front end, rear end, top, bottom and opposing sides, the body further defining a cavity;
• two or more wheels;
• a first and second solar panel assembly respectively disposed and permanently coupled on the opposing sides of the body including a first side and a second side;
• one or more electric motors disposed within the cavity of the body between the first and second solar panel assemblies, the one or more electric motors configured to rotate at least one of the two or more wheels;
• and
• one or more electric batteries disposed within the cavity of the body between the first and second solar panel assemblies, the one or more electric batteries configured to power the one or more electric motors and to be charged by electric current generated by the first and second solar panel assemblies,
• wherein the solar-powered vehicle is configured to be fully powered by electric power generated from a plurality of solar panel assemblies of the solar-powered vehicle, including at least the first and second solar panel assemblies, and
• wherein one or both of the first and second solar panel assemblies are movable to expose a storage compartment defined by the cavity of the body of the solar-powered vehicle, the one or both of the first and second solar panel assemblies being movable by one or more respective rotatable couplings to expose the storage compartment defined by the cavity of the body of the solar-powered vehicle, the one or more respective rotatable couplings configured to allow the one or both of the first and second solar panel assemblies to rotate outward to expose the storage compartment defined by the cavity of the body of the solar-powered vehicle.

A solar-powered vehicle comprising:

• a body having a front end, rear end, bottom, top and opposing sides, wherein the opposing first side and second side of the body both slope outward such that a width between the first side and second side of the body is smaller at the top of the body, wherein the width between the first side and the second side of the body increases toward the bottom of the body;
• two or more wheels;
• and
• a first and second solar panel assembly respectively disposed on the opposing sides of the body including a first side and a second side.
