From Wired: Venturi Eclectic: Powered By Nature
The Venturi Eclectic, currently on display at the Paris Motor Show, is powered by a 22hp, 50Nm electric motor that's charged by the 2.5 square meters of solar panels on its roof. If it's too cloudy out, a wind-powered force wheel generates the electricity, and in a pinch you can rehcarge using AC power. Designed for urban driving, the golf-cart styled vehicle can reach a top speed of 32mph. It goes into production next summer and will sell for 24,000 euros.
