Hyundai fills the sun with an additional 1,300km without paying fuel

Hyundai Sonata will be able to travel more than 1,300 miles a year if its roof is exposed to the sun six hours a day.

Sedan has been enabled by a 152 horse-powered gasoline engine, 2.0 litres GDi, and an electric engine 51 horsepower that is loaded with batteries, the Kosova Press broadcasts.

Although the additional 1,300 miles [1,300 km] without paying for fuel or electricity seems quite tempting, the weakness is that the installation of solar panels on the roof is neither simple nor cheap, so it will be counted as special equipment.

If we add to that the car's weight increase because of panels, including consumption increases, those 1,300 miles [1,300 km], or about two fuel tanks a year, are not as significant at the moment.

Given that Hyundai has not announced the price at which solar - powered cars will be released, the question arises about the cost.

Of course, everything depends on the location to which it will be directed, first of all and foremost, clients from places that have more sunny days will have priority.

Hyundai will launch Sonata in South Korea and his favorite American market.
