\n An off-road solar car built by a team of Dutch students has successfully traversed 1,000km of rugged desert terrain in North Africa \u2014 opening up possibilities for the broader rollout of solar-powered EVs in areas with limited charging infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Eindhoven University of Technology<\/a> (<\/span>TU\/e)<\/span> students drove the SUV, which doubles as a small campervan, from Tangier in northern Morocco across <\/span>dry riverbeds, steep mountain passes, and loose sand before arriving at the Sahara desert three days later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an incredible trip<\/a> with a positive ending. We were able to drive the entire trip on the sun\u2019s energy and did not depend on charging stations,\u201d said team manager Wisse Bos.<\/span><\/p>\n
