The prototype was developed by two Palestinian 23-year-old students, who self-funded. The car reaches a speed of up to 30 km/h.
With an electric car you can save up to 60%
The figures come from a UK study, carried out by a team of anthropologists, which shows that every family could save over 3,300 euros per year by moving to an electric vehicle.

The figures come from a UK study, carried out by a team of anthropologists, which shows that every family could save over 3,300 euros per year by moving to an electric vehicle. At least in some EU countries. According to data, if a family adopt an electric mobility for its transfers, it could save up to 60% of its monthly expenses for fuel.
Such data emerged by a research commissioned by Nissan in order to better understand families’ purchasing habits of electric vehicles. The study is based on a total of 5,568 interviewees living in the United Kingdom (1,033), Germany (1,010), France (1,003), Italy (1,012), Spain (1,005) and Norway (505).
The team, by interviewing a particular panel of families in the United Kingdom and Norway (two of the major markets for electric vehicles), highlighted how the use of such vehicles in everyday life is a crucial parameter for those who chose an electric vehicle as family car.
89% of electric car owners said to charge vehicles during the night at their own house, with a cost per kilometre equal to or less than 3 cents (datum that varies depending on energy costs of each country).
In the UK there’s who spends only 5 pound per week, with a Nissan Leaf (the world’s most sold electric car); in Oslo, Norway, 39 cents are enough for 10 km of charge. What about Italy? The cost of the current depends on energy operators. Electricity fares vary depending on the operator, the time band, and the travelled kilometres. An approximate figure could be around 0.20 euros per kWh, which means from 1 to 3 euros for the full tank, i.e. about 120 km of autonomy.

Printed and assembled in a few hours, and then it’s ready to carry up to 12 passengers. The first prototypes of this bus are being tested in the streets of Washington, D.C.
Charge points in the country exceeded petrol stations last year. Japanese plug-in drivers are no more afflicted by range anxiety, so electric vehicles are taking off. And now Japan bets on hydrogen cars.
Milan has announced one of Europe’s most ambitious mobility schemes, known as Strade Aperte (open roads). Its goal is to reduce cars in phase 2 of the lockdown by increasing bike lanes and pedestrian areas.
Formula 1, the world’s most important auto racing championship, has decided to turn the page and aim for carbon neutrality with the support of its teams, drivers and the whole racing circus.
Toyota and LifeGate began telling the story of hybrid mobility back in 2006, now, on the road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, they’re still treading the path of sustainable mobility. Here are the main steps of the journey.
Germany’s first solar bicycle lane could be the prototype for the roads of the future. The photovoltaic tiles melt snow and ice, and are capable of absorbing noise.
Lexus realises a “driveable” full-scale replica of its saloon with cardboard. And it’s powered by an electric engine.
Retrofitting is a technical term which means modifying the technology of an object to improve its performances. Segun Oyeyiola, a Nigerian student of Engineering, just retrofitted an old Volkswagen Beetle and turned it into a solar and wind-powered car. Within a year the final year student managed to convert the Beetle into a
