-Fossil energy are limit, solar energy is unlimited. Solar power is future energy.
-A mechanical engine and gear changing is State of Art, its dirty to work on. Gearhead like it.
-Electric motor (with only one gear) is Green/Gay work, its clean to work on. People with smartphone like it. J/k!
-Will mechanical engine produce more HP than electric motor? Possible. Specifically, a Hellcat can be tuned to beat Tesla S but benefits/cost will be less than 1.
-Will this affect our hobby? Probably no. By the time Solar vehicle become mass transportation, the Last Muscle car become dust itself.
