Tesla Model 3 will cover 9,500 miles using solar panels

To encourage people to care about the environment and climate change, scientists in Australia are trying to cover a distance of about 9,500 miles by car using solar panels. It is part of the Charge Around Australia project, and the panels will be mounted on the Tesla Model 3.

The car will use 18 printed solar panels and their inventor Paul Dastoor said: “This is actually an ideal test in which we will get information on how we can use and power technology in other remote locations, such as space.” This seeks to test not only the durability of the panels but also their potential performance for other applications.

The material used to make the panels also plays an important role. It is a PET plastic used to make wine labels, and costs less than $ 8 per square meter.

The project will last 84 days, and during the trip they will visit 70 schools to introduce students to environmental protection and what the future holds. Dastoor also said that he hopes that by using the panel for charging an electric car, he will motivate Australians to think about electric vehicles.
