New California-based electric vehicle start-up, Humble Motors, has revealed Humble One, its concept SUV with a solar roof design. Instead of a glass roof, the Humble One features over 80 square feet of engineered photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and transform it into energy.
This generates enough electrical power to increase driving range by nearly 60 miles a day.
The Humble One concept SUV is 198 inches long, or just a little longer than a Toyota Corolla. The Humble One has been engineered to be as lightweight as possible while also comfortably fitting four people.
The start-up says it already has has more than $20 million in reserved pre-orders.
Humble’s team draws from a broad mix of physicists, engineers, and designers from automotive manufacturers including Ferrari, Piaggio, Formula One, and Ford.
Humble founder, Dima Steesy, says: “We think solar is the future of mobility and that solar-powered electric vehicles are the clear next step to tackling carbon neutrality in the transportation ecosystem.”
