• Question: would it be possible to run cars solely on solar power using panels which can store light so you can still travel at night?

      Hi William M! The solar panels themselves can’t store light. But electric vehicles contain a battery which you can charge up from the solar panels during the day, and then use that stored energy in the battery to power the car at night.
