Abstract
Abstract This electric automobile is so designed, as to obtain a mileage range up to four hundred miles, as compared with present electrics, which attain only a range of forty miles, and this electric automobile attains a speed of sixty miles per hour, as compared with the forty obtained of such cars. Primarily, it consists of a small motor which drives a D.C. generator, which supplies current to drive the car's drive motor. It further includes batteries, which are aided in replenishing their current by a solar cell bank, which produces electricity from the rays of the sun and other light.
