Creators of record-breaking solar car launch startup to sell street-legal version

Solar Team Eindhoven, a group of engineering students from the Technical University of Eindhoven (Netherlands), has been competing in the World Solar Challenge with their Stella and Stella Lux, energy positive solar cars – meaning that they can produce more energy than they consume.

Some of the students responsible for the vehicles have now launched a new startup to make a commercial street-legal version of the car.

Just seen the founder on TV. Needs 30 million euro to build the first couple of solar cars that hold the promise that solar energy will suffice to charge the car for daily trips.
