Interestingly, while they do seem a bit comical, these kit cars can be issued VINs (vehicle identification numbers) and when registered as Low Speed Vehicles or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, may be insured by several vehicle insurance companies. Much like motorized golf carts in gated communities, the SUNN solar powered electric car will save on gas and the wear and tear of taking the car out to make short jaunts to visit the neighbors or trips to the pool.

A choice between pickup truck and car, the kits include everything except the batteries, which are too expensive to ship. Both are one hundred percent rechargeable by the sun, run about twelve miles in total distance before requiring a charge, seat two people, and are waterproof.

At just under six thousand dollars, the SUNN vehicle is really a step in the right direction in doing one’s part to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and transitioning to alternative car fuels.
