Making a SOLAR POWERED CAR... Full Build

Way freakin cool. Nice work!

OP: Tears a bunch of bikes apart. Also inadvertently makes a better version of the cyber truck.

this is how every electric cars should be made. lightweight, low energy consumption, with its own electrical generation. awesome build !

I love how you showed it to the kids and one said "That is really cool". You really inspire a lot of people.

As an industrial solar electrician, it was awesome seeing you work with the same stuff I do on a smaller scale. This project is awesome and your wires look clean. Good crimps are underappreciated 🤙🏼

Unlike so many others you explain what you are doing and why you do it the way you do. So many others do not explain anything they do, the materials they use or the glues and nails etc. I always learn something new watching Drew Builds Stuff. Everyone thumbs up 👍🏽 and subscribe to Drew Builds Stuff.

You should have put the panels in parallel. When youre using them in series, they will only supply the amperage of the weakest cell (the one with the least llight shining onto it). It basically acts like a resistor when they dont face the same direction.

Really fascinating display of work. Really impressive the way you neatly arranging wires and everything, extremely inspiring.

The fact that you can use this as a power output too with the addition at the end gives it so much more use. Love the build as always, thanks for creating the content!

I love your videos for a few reasons! 1. You use basic tools. This is something accessible to most people. 2. You work with the materials you have. On the cheap. Make it work and don't reinvent the wheel. 3. You don't editorialize your videos. Straight and to the point explanation of what you're doing and why it is you are doing it. It's brilliant and this solar car is absolutely fantastic! Anyone following your video could build it. Keep it up!

Your organized approach, skill set,and resourcefulness is awesome!

i was in awe this entire video.. this IS THE FUTURE!! gives me hope for humanity. thank you so much for uploading this video. you put in soo much work. This is a seed of inspiration.

“I have no idea what I’m doing, so feel free to do your own research.” The proceeds to build a master piece. 😂

Imagine if it had some suspension on it too!? That's gotta make the list for next summer! Great build as always Drew :)

Actually excited to see how you could optimize this further from a proof of concept to a better EV, especially after seeing your bike camper build!

Really awesome project, really enjoyed the journey. There is one small issue i have with the wiring: in automotive electrical work you typically don't solder, but use clamping or screwing connections, because the vibrations could break soldered connections over time. Thats not a weeks of driving and vibrations but a years of driving issue, so not a pressing issue, juat wanted to mention it

I love that you give all the details that go into making these builds. Excited to see what you build next!

Nice project. One suggestion : have separate charge controller for front and rare panels.since while driving, they have different angles and if connected in series their output degrades. So to optime each solar output two charge controller will be good..

Drew, this is the first time I watched your channel, and I am just amazed at your creativity, all-round skills and your ability to make this awesome solar vehicle from scratch! I take my hat off for you! I was fascinated by every step of the project in which you explained in minute detail your design considerations, use of materials such as profiles, bolts and nuts, fasteners, cabling and paint job. I found it so creative to repurpose parts of common bicycles for the front wheel steering. Seems like so much fun driving around in it. Thank you for sharing your project with us.

Drew.... TOTALLY AWESOME. the best part of the whole thing is your brother "layin' it over" on the corner and giggling wildly. precious! nice job! can ya send the plans??!! take care! build on!
