The C-Max Solar Energi Concept isn't your ordinary hybrid car.It can actually run off of three fuels. It can run off the grid by recharging it using the plug. It can run off the sun by using the canopy.Or it can run off of gasoline. So it's the best of both worlds.And, says Ford executive Tinskey, it could be the future of sustainable transportation.He explains how the solar panels, located on the vehicle's roof, will harness the sun's energy.Think of it as a parking structure. It's a canopy that the vehicle parks under, and it magnifies the energy from the sun.So, each and every day you get a full battery charge, which is about 21 miles of electric driving...all free, all clean, from the sun each and every day.Major auto makers have relied on the sun's energy in the past.But the solar panels were used to power accessories like air conditioning or were impractical test cars, according to automotive historian Leslie Kendall.They had to be so light to be aerodynamic. They had to be so incredibly efficient that they really weren't practical.But here we have a practical modern car that you can use in realistic everyday driving situations.Not 100 percent solar-powered but it's a big step towards that.Ford officials say, before they can start mass production, they still have a few issues to work out.like how to cool the vehicle while it's under the canopy and how to keep people from walking underneath the canopy while the C-Max is charging.
C-Max太阳能概念车可不是一般的混合动力汽车。你可以凭借3种燃料形式轻松驾驭。它不仅拥有插电式混合动力。而且可以利用一块安装于车顶的太阳能面板吸收光能。或者干脆依靠汽油。所以这真的是两全其美。福特执行官提恩斯基表示它可能是可持续交通的未来。他解释了安装于车顶的太阳能面板吸收光能的原理。把它看成一个停车场。你的车就停在一片树荫之下,它放大来自太阳的能量。所以,每一天你的电池都会充满电,相当于电驱动可以行驶约21英里…全部免费,全程环保,每天来自太阳的服务。汽车历史学家莱斯利?肯德尔表示汽车生产商在过去已经主要依赖于太阳的能量。但太阳能电池板则用于如空调电力配件或不切实际的测试车等。他们曾经如此轻视空气动力学。他们曾经对于如此不实用感到令人难以置信。但是现在我们有了一辆实际的汽车，你可以应对每天的驾驶情况。虽然不是100%的太阳能,但它仍然是很大进步。福特官员表示在开始大规模生产之前,他们还有几个问题需要解决…比如如何冷却车辆以及如何阻止人们不接近充电的C-Max。
