Question

Why do they always have to make these alternative powered vehicles look like a box? It seems to me that if they made them more aerodynamic they would get better distance and they would certainly look a lot better. There are a lot of ifs about an air powered car. As Joe said, the range is going to vary, especially depending on where you live and drive it. Solar cells need sunlight to work and when you have rain and dark about half the year, that really cuts into that. Wind power here wouldn't be reliable as we have some windy days and many more with no breeze at all. Ah, if I just still had my old pedal toy fire truck.
