Bat Mobile
The History: We made history when our debut solar powered vehicle was crowned joint Event Champions in the 2012 Sasol Solar Challenge. It may not have been the most elegant (it was definitely the cheapest) vehicle on the road but the Batmobile, as our car was affectionately known, certainly was effective. The Batmobile…https://engineering.nwu.ac.za/solar-car/sirius-x25
