Hi all, just heard the news that a wind powered/charged vehicle crossed all 5000km (3000m) of Australia within 17 days ! The only power cost they had was about $10 to charge somewhere.
The lithium ion battery seems to carry 2 pax over a distance of 400km!! what a range.
Now is the vehicle a motorbike or car  ?

The vehicle batteries are charged overnight by a windmill. great idea - they don't show how they did transport that though ...

In Australia I understand if it has one wheel driven - as it seems - it might be rated as a motorbike and not a car ! how do u see it ?
