Abstract :
This paper presents some facts focusing on some anomalies that appear at road electric vehicles. Application of photovoltaic cells sounds well, but the reality presents something else. Application of electric hub motors is a nice field of research but it is in contradiction with some basic rules of the dynamics of road vehicles. The list can be continued with some other problems that do not match the basic rules of engineering and technical sciences. In this paper I present also, a solar electric vehicle built at our department.
