Making a SOLAR POWERED CAR... Full Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 10. 2023
- In this video I make a car that uses nothing but the sun and solar panels to charge it's electric batteries. This 48V 3000W cyber truck solar car has flat range of 100km, and solar panels that can double that range on a fully sunny day. It takes about 10 hours to recharge fully in the sun. Made from two old bike frames and lots of steel, this cool looking roadster is a futuristic proof of concept for how cars could be powered one day.

Way freakin cool. Nice work!
You have to destroy this @JerryRigEverything, just to make sure the quality of the built :D
yes
ITS Such an small world and it Amazing to randomly read an comment of yours on this vid! GOODNight bro THE tech-destroyer, lol, also & anyway super DUPER random ?? BUTT , i have 1000 IPHONE 10 -10MAX and 10 Pro or whatever PHONE SCREEN PROTECTORS i purchased made in taiwan[i believe] . Would you like them? mabey for an future random vid? i literally have no use for them. i wanted to sell them but that's probably way more work then profit at this point. PEACE JRE
take care man.
Nice to see you here Jerry.
The king of DIY has spawned
As an industrial solar electrician, it was awesome seeing you work with the same stuff I do on a smaller scale. This project is awesome and your wires look clean. Good crimps are underappreciated 🤙🏼
Thanks for watching!!
Soldering crimped connectors helps too.
@@joewoodchuck3824 If they are crimped, you do not need to solder. Soldering a crimped joint can cause overheating and premature failure of the electrical connection.
@@joewoodchuck3824 Aviation standard is crimped. Never soldered and this is expected to last 20 to 90 years.
Yes, really some crimps have survived 90 years.
Soldering heat de-tempers the wire making it brittle right beside the solder. These fail in high vibration environments.
Automotive is almost all crimped except right at a circuit board for the same reason.
Some small electronics will do all soldered for simplicity at the factory, but not expected to survive 20 years. Often not expected to survive a single year.
@@AustinAnthony-akaftw Solder increases the surface are in crimped connectors filling in gaps, thus would lower joint resistance.
I recommend drilling holes in the ends of the mounting bolts for the tie rod ends to put cotter pins as extra insurance on top of the nylon lock nuts you used. Those are parts you NEVER want coming apart.
I love how you showed it to the kids and one said "That is really cool". You really inspire a lot of people.
he does. he really really does. because he films EVERYTHING, there is no mystery to what he is doing. every project looks big and complicated until you realize its just a bunch of small projects rolled into one finished project.
The fact that you can use this as a power output too with the addition at the end gives it so much more use. Love the build as always, thanks for creating the content!
Unlike so many others you explain what you are doing and why you do it the way you do. So many others do not explain anything they do, the materials they use or the glues and nails etc. I always learn something new watching Drew Builds Stuff. Everyone thumbs up 👍🏽 and subscribe to Drew Builds Stuff.

OP: Tears a bunch of bikes apart.
Also inadvertently makes a better version of the cyber truck.
BS cyber truck is bullet proof out the factory this is shit
More like an aptera version of the cybertruck* lol
would definitely take a cyber truck over this

@@zee-fr5kw question is, will the company definitely give the cyber truck to you 😁
this is how every electric cars should be made. lightweight, low energy consumption, with its own electrical generation. awesome build !
Lmfao
that do you think they are trying to do?
@@holyn8 not this, teslas are very heavy and don't use solar panels as far as i know. or is there a company making somthing like this?
@@PLOJyeah, there are some companies making solar powered cars but for now it's only in the state of concept
I love your videos for a few reasons!
1. You use basic tools. This is something accessible to most people.
2. You work with the materials you have. On the cheap. Make it work and don't reinvent the wheel.
3. You don't editorialize your videos. Straight and to the point explanation of what you're doing and why it is you are doing it.
It's brilliant and this solar car is absolutely fantastic! Anyone following your video could build it.
Keep it up!
Glad you noticed, that's always been the goal of the videos. Create projects that the average person can repeat if they really wanted to. Thanks for watching!!
yep the most sophisticated tool he used was a gasless wirefeed welder. everything he used is readily available
“I have no idea what I’m doing, so feel free to do your own research.” The proceeds to build a master piece. 😂
Haha it’s still true!
@@ojizarcozurdo9925😂you know what’s funny? No one asked.
@ojizarcozurdo9925 your jealousy is showing
@@ojizarcozurdo9925bet you're fun at parties 😂
You said you'll connect the left and right motor in parallel, in is not difficult when you steer your frontwheel left or right? Anyway that's awesome, from Phils.
You should have put the panels in parallel.
When youre using them in series, they will only supply the amperage of the weakest cell (the one with the least llight shining onto it). It basically acts like a resistor when they dont face the same direction.
Tbh he sould have used at least 2 mppt controllers apart from that
that's a great idea
Drew, this is the first time I watched your channel, and I am just amazed at your creativity, all-round skills and your ability to make this awesome solar vehicle from scratch! I take my hat off for you! I was fascinated by every step of the project in which you explained in minute detail your design considerations, use of materials such as profiles, bolts and nuts, fasteners, cabling and paint job. I found it so creative to repurpose parts of common bicycles for the front wheel steering. Seems like so much fun driving around in it. Thank you for sharing your project with us.
I love that you give all the details that go into making these builds. Excited to see what you build next!
Thanks for watching

Imagine if it had some suspension on it too!? That's gotta make the list for next summer! Great build as always Drew :)
Run the tires at 20 psi plenty of suspension!
Road tires would make this thing insane
@@user-jw7zp1vp4c more like terrible inefficient
I'll see what I can do for the upgrade video! Thanks for watching!!
@@DrewBuildsStuffi think slick tires will produce less friction/drag improving efficency.
for steering - while what you have may work - you might want to lookup ackerman steering. draw a line from pivot center of front to center of line running thru rear axle. midpoint between width of car. your front steering tabs where your linkage mounts - should be at this angle. as you turn - the inside wheel is a tighter radius then the outer - and ackerman steering sets up your linkage to compensate for this. less tire scrubbing.
Bro!!! Props to you on building this project. With this, you are defeating Tesla for sure 👏🏻
That's a great, fun project Drew! One thing I can offer is that your steering might be improved. Any vehicle with two front steerable wheels needs correct steering geometry to avoid "scrubbing" during turns. When they build stretch limo's they do a small modification to correct this geometry. The secret is known as the "Ackermann" angle. What it does, is turn the steering wheels at different angles so there is no skidding, or "scrubbing" of the tires during a turn. If you park a car with the wheels turned fully to the right or left, youll see that the wheels are not turned the same amount. Your buggy is light weight, so you might not notice this, but it will handle better with correct Ackermann angle steering. It's easy to correct this by bending the steering arms on each fork. Calculations are available online.
Came here to say the same thing. You can think about it this way: If you draw a line perpendicular to the direction of each tire, they should all meet at a single point called the instantaneous center of rotation. That's just not possible with the two front wheels always parallel, so at least one tire needs to skid when you take a turn
The Ackerman angle is derived by lines from each front wheel turning pivot to the centre of the rear axle but based on what this guy can do he would know all about it. Nice build and these are what we should all be driving. However I think an alternative arrangement is worth investigating and that is motorcycle and side car with e bike upgrade.
Nice build Drew!! You just need some a nice suspension system on all four wheels.
Don't those calculations depend on the fact that there is an axle connecting the wheels?
This is a fully axle-less design. The only connection point is the chassis and then the cross beam by the steering wheel. It's a very intriguing problem because you can do ackerman angles but they'd be much different. A car axle used to be the weak point and failure point, that's gone now and all the calculations would change.
Great video, Drew. Awesome ride and portable generator you have now. The amount of time, detail, and quality you put into your videos and builds is astounding. I know these videos take you a very long time to make, but I do wish you could come out with videos more often. One of my favorite channels.
Agree, and was just think the same myself. Maybe Drew Clones Himself would be a good new channel, then the Drews can work on multiple project simultaneously.
Fine, I volunteer to help Drew create clones... The only way I know how 🍑🍆
Thanks for watching!! I also wish I could put them out faster but it isn't that easy apparently hah
Excellent video
Really fascinating display of work. Really impressive the way you neatly arranging wires and everything, extremely inspiring.
The cage kinda looks like a cybertruck.
I thought the same thing
Same here. Would be cool to see mimic the cyber truck design even further in his next iteration
Came here to say the same thing
That's because he designed it to look like that.
It's better than a cybertruck
Even if this video ran for 4 hours, I would watch it through. Very entertaining, professional and super kewl! Well done man!
Thank you!!
Its nice to see one man doing metal work, wood work and electronics all alone 👌
The Sun is an amazing source of energy, great job, well done, drew.
Nice project.
One suggestion : have separate charge controller for front and rare panels.since while driving, they have different angles and if connected in series their output degrades. So to optime each solar output two charge controller will be good..
You don't need 2 charge controllers. Just wire things in a combo the rear are in series with each other, then that pair is in parallel with the front. I do this on top of my van, where I have 4 panels - 2 pairs, in series internally, wired in parallel.
if you have 2 panels in the rear in serias and just 1 front panel parallel - this will not work becaus of the different voltages. Either you connect all three panels in parallel or add a separate mppt controller for front and rear. @@pauldavisthefirst
The panels can both be mounted for adjustability for optimum charging both at the same time which would serve to equalize performance. I can't imagine any need to have them set at different angles from each other. The front one can be overhead to avoid the mechanical constraint of the shown position.
I was thinking about that. Worried that wiring panels in series, may lead to a shaded or damaged panel braking the chain, and interrupting the other panels, that's why I would just wire them all in parallel, and just use a boost converter to step up the voltage, unless the charge controller is ok with low voltage high currant input. I'm self taught about e-bikes, BEVs, and Hybrids. But I'm new to panels and charge-controllers.
@@observingrogue7652 A boost converter is a power supply. The current it outputs is dependent on load. In this case the load is how much current (and voltage) the battery needs in order to charge at any point in time.
It does not dump current because of what it's capable of.
Love the wide range of builds you do on your channel!
Thanks for watching!!
Your organized approach, skill set,and resourcefulness is awesome!
Really awesome project, really enjoyed the journey.
There is one small issue i have with the wiring: in automotive electrical work you typically don't solder, but use clamping or screwing connections, because the vibrations could break soldered connections over time. Thats not a weeks of driving and vibrations but a years of driving issue, so not a pressing issue, juat wanted to mention it
Rad build! Instead of zip ties, could be cleaner to run all the electrical and brake lines through the square tubing. Thanks for sharing!
At least he could have used red zip ties so they would not be so obvious.
I hate that he made a tutorial on something nobody’s ever going to build. This is so stupid.
@@GardenGuy1943 maybe he was explaining in his process for the people that are interested, you think?
@@BenEllefson NO
@@GardenGuy1943
When the oil runs out, everyone can build an electric car.
Man if that build ain't worthy of a sub and a like, i don't know what is.
That's pure awesomeness !
Shows how simpler and fun it's become to try and experiment with solar builds, I'm really hoping this will inspire others.
Great Build, zero emmitions and a huge range. Love from India.
1:21 INSANELY satisfying
FANTASTIC BUILD!!! One big error however is your washers cover part of some of the solar cells, and that will significantly cut power production. Also, connecting panels that are facing different directions in series limits production to the worst angled panel. For others thinking of something similar, ebike kits with regen braking are an essential part of the build for typical braking needs at this weight to save on brake pads, and gain a little power. 2nd throttle for braking is good setup, but means specialized controllers.
i remember watching solar powered cars like that 20 years ago being made, and they were so big and barely could move , its amazing to see the differences 20 years makes
Unfair comparison. Those cars were powered directly by the sun, this one has a battery.
@@tuckeyuk mm your right! They were straight solar cars. I forgot that
Fantastic effort! I wonder if you could raise the rear solar panel permanently and create a cargo area above the batteries and it would make a fantastic cargo carrier for local deliveries - essentially unlimited power.
I think it would be cool to make a smaller version, like a go-kart. Using the front suspension forks from a mountain bike for the steering would be a somewhat easy upgrade to make as well.
bro really wrote a whole ass paragraph@@ojizarcozurdo9925 💀
For somebody that claims they don't know what they are doing, you sure fooled me. Outstanding work buddy!!!
Just letting everyone know I have never built a solar car before haha
I love this film ,thanks good idea on a solar car
Great build, may want to add some covers for those wires underneath so nothing you run over damages them.
This was absolutely amazing Drew, one of the things I love the most is that you are using basic workshop tools for your builds. This shows your dedication and I can imagine the time it takes to do all this. The most I've done are simple computer desks from 3/4" SHS also with a small flux core welder. This was very inspiring and I look forward to see what next you do with it! ALSO, 100Km of range is insane! That's awesome!
my man has a grinder, a welder, and a dream 😅
If you reinforced a couple areas of the frame and reorganized the electronic and electrical system closer to the seat you could have a sturdier vehicle with decent trunk area. Also, even though it doesn't ride that fast, adding a few plastic or wood panels to seal the shape and improve the aerodynamics as well as help protect the equipment.
Coroplast would be a good way to enclose it. Next to no weight, but pretty good strength to it. Check out what Paul Elkins does with it
Nice Work, You are very brilliant brother
Drew.... TOTALLY AWESOME. the best part of the whole thing is your brother "layin' it over" on the corner and giggling wildly. precious! nice job! can ya send the plans??!! take care! build on!
Wow, I'm so impressed with the build. It's not about the specs of a 'car' rather the spirit of building it yourself. Keep doing a great work!
Drew, you outdid yourself on this build, well done!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Drew, you should use one breake lever to pull one front and the opposite side back whell, making the breake system in a "x" configuration for safety. Nice built!
This is my favorite build so far. Honestly should be something made available as a home hobby project for consumers. Would be great bonding\learning experiences for the whole family. There's something for everyone in this build.
Thanks for watching!!
Actually excited to see how you could optimize this further from a proof of concept to a better EV, especially after seeing your bike camper build!
Very nice build and I can only think of 3 things you need to improve on based on my experience with ebikes and solar installs
1. Putting the panels in series in different orientations will mean reduced harvest
2. Those brake levers that came in have a connection to the controller that will also throttle down the motors when you press the brakes
3. The batteries needs an equalizer to prevent battery imbalance after a certain time.
A windshield would be awesome but it is a very cool build.
i was in awe this entire video.. this IS THE FUTURE!! gives me hope for humanity. thank you so much for uploading this video. you put in soo much work. This is a seed of inspiration.
Great work bro
What a fantastic build! Even with this prototype, your attention to detail is great. Well done, Drew. Maybe a cargo-capable version next?
Simple yet very practical solae vehicle 🙌🏽 If you ever land in the dessert without fuel, this might be perfect to travel.
Was thinking I would use appropriate colored zip ties depending on where they were being used and then you painted said zip ties. Always appreciate your attention to detail. Nice build!
One of the big advantages of using switched brake levers is that the motor controllers will likely provide regenerative braking (a must for efficiency).
Also, put a couple of USB sockets on it for charging your phone / sat. nav.
...and lights.
Corect, sunt de acord.👍🙂
and a hitch to tow his camper with !
Drew I think you should start a podracer build challenge!
Have people build their own and we could all show them off and drive them around.
Keep the build to under 8000 and meet at some Canadian town on the praries on Victoria day weekend!
The winner could guest host with you showing how they conducted the winning podracer. Maybe even get to try your parents new hot tub and have a cold pop.
Grand prize 10,000 to the winner. This could blow up CZcams!
@@ojizarcozurdo9925 don't you have anything better to do than to cut and paste the same thing over and over again spewing the same pointless claims? those aren't regular lithium ion batteries but phosphate based which are not prone to overheating and even if they're punctured, they won't catch on fire, and as charge controllers has no moving parts, the vibration isn't going to be that big a deal, and vertical surfaces? why, are the electrons gonna fall out? maybe go find yourself a hobby instead of whining about other peoples' ?
That is absolutely incredibly amazing wow.
I think that would look epic with a bit more of a shell (maybe perspex) and if you add simple plug in speakers to the interior, you can use it as your car radio.
He's very humble by saying that he doesn't know what he's doing but yet does it perfectly... this is so freaking awesome dude. 👏 well done.
That is bloody awesome! I am very surprised by the excellent range you get. Nicely done and very cool 😎
I was as well!
@@DrewBuildsStuff Did you try to go up some sort of incline/hill? Were it able to, and if it did, what was the performance hit?
@@yoman5003 We did a couple large hills and speed was not impacted, i'm sure battery range would be decreased.
@@DrewBuildsStuffThat is so cool. Torque ftw!
Genius. I honestly think your on point. Modify it to a camping vehicle and let it have a trailer. You can also do a mini crawler tractor. Great idea. EPIC. Love from Kenya.
This looks fun as hell
This is a cool build! I'm glad you wore a helmet, but I have some other safety concerns. The seat mounts into wood. If you want to use this long-term, please build a steel box to mount the seat. If you hit something, it will rip through the wood. Also, please consider adding additional safety features like a seat belt/harness, turn signals, brake lights, and headlights.
@@ojizarcozurdo9925 The battery mounting is a fair point, but your last two sentences are extremely rude. Drew put in a lot of effort into making a video for people to watch. It's important to remember that he and everyone else here are human, and deserve a basic respect and decency.
Nice!
One note, if you shade just a little bit of a panel, like those slightly too big washers, the power goes down a lot.
That looks so rad!!
Perfect for getting your shopping done when it's pouring or snowing, also excellent n-cap ratting you won't feel anything just instant bliss.
Everything will be ok 😉
Those flexible solar panels would look great mounted on a curved roof.
google for Sinclair C15. My dream project car. I have the C5 with 2000w hub motor. Sanyo copied it into the Amorton but was only a concept sadly.
Drew never disappoints. Great job bro!
39:06 Love it NEW age passing Old age (Amish buggy VS solar buggy)
Great work and really well filmed and commented...thankyou
I am in absolute love with what you made here. I work in environmentalism, so seeing someone making proof of concepts so accessible and easy-to-understand for a product that one day could have a positive impact on the world, kudos!
First video I’ve seen from you, and I subscribed for more.
That is a magnificent build Drew! I was looking forward to seeing what you have been up to. Fantastic video as usual. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Thanks for watching! Lots of fun projects in the works!
I love this video. I watch it all the time. Sometimes twice in a row. It always gets my mind going for what I want to build. Which is several things.
Dude you are not human 🔥🔥
Very nice and impressive build too, love the fact that you added 3 large solar panels and two 100ah batteries. Thanks for sharing your experience man. I know this was a good sized project but the effort was well worth it though.
Battery voltage here is 25.6V, so they have a capacity of 2560 Wh each. Most LifePo4 batteries of this form factor are 12.8V, 200 Ah, so this is a good example of why one shouldn't use Ah as a unit for energy.
That thing looks sweet! Id love to build something like that but too many police around that would probably give me a hard time and wouldnt really be able to cruise around in it much. It would be cool to get cost breakdowns of your builds at time of building! Obviously prices will change over time but would still be cool to see what your projects have ended up costing on a per component and overall basis
You should make front and back panels seperate strings, as always one side is not facing sun and it takes dowm efficiency of the whole string
Great work. Appriciate your efforts
Love it!! Thats the shit!!! I remember the solar race in 89. Built a transmission in school for it. How the world has changed!!
Thats amazing. At this point, America is nice. In Germany, you would drive 20 Minutes until Cops stop you, charge you like 5k and take your drivers license for a year...

Wow Drew, this is really cool! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for watching
Great work, everything looks tidy, neat & professional, only thing I would do differently is add a main system fuse on the positive terminal of the battery and a second mppt charge controller for the front panel as this would add more efficient use of the power that your panels produce.
Overall your build is very impressive. Great job.
I believe it is more than a proof of concept nice job
Great job! My only suggestions would be to better look at the layout of your panels and batteries so as to make the cable runs as short as possible (for example, rotate your rear panels 180 degrees). Your #10 wire is probably loosing voltage as your wiring paths are not optimal. Also, you should switch the positive rails instead of (or as well as) the negative rails otherwise you have a constantly electrified system. Also, add a master shutoff. Add a few creature comforts like lights and USB charging socket for your phone - at some point you'll have to call your brother for a ride home :)
Its the norm to switch the ground, that way, if it is disconnected, if you short the positive of the battery to the chassis, it wont do anything.
If you disconnect the negative, the positive dont do anything, it is "floating"
The panels appear to be wired in series which means they have less than 10 amps running through them at peak power. 10awg wiring is rated for 30 amps continuous, I think his wiring is fine since it's only a few feet between the panels. The only suggestion I would have is to not cover the solar cells with the fender washers. You can see in the video they are over the cells. He's probably losing more power there than through the wiring.
@@Jasonoid Yeah, 10ga should be fine, but the thin eye connectors used here and there could be hot spots.
You make some valid points. I want to build my own, thank you.
you are talking like the guy was using 100 meters of car lmao, the power loss for the length he uses is negligible
Drew, what an incredible project. I work with solar in Brazil and I loved your idea!
Thanks for watching!!
Magnifique vidéo j’adore le format long. Avec plus d’explications c’est vraiment passionnant. Merci à toi
You are a very talented man ,glad I came across your tiny home exterior build . I Can not wait for the interior . My partner does tiny home Solar installations in Hamilton ,so I shared this video with him
Amazing! I love to see that multiple youtubers are building their own solar cars from scratch! This shows that it actually is really easy! You really did the best job yet! I like that you have used fatbike wheels rather than using a complicated suspension system. I have lots of ideas for my own solar car but this has to wait until i have my own workshop.
The technology is getting better, I'm sure it'll get up to full size cars at some point.
Cool stuff creative indeed looking forward to meeting you some day William Uganda 🇺🇬
This is incredible! It’s so great to see and hear you piece it all together. Makes me want to learn how to weld.. thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
This was excellent work. Looking forward to more.
Hats off to your work man. Hope you do such amazing things more 🎉
The overall size could be reduced. Frame switched to aluminum to reduce weight, increase range, and prevent rust. Batteries / panels reduced overall by half, reducing price. And this could make a very decent commute vehicle for people who live in inner cities with good bike infrastructure to carry groceries or other luggage around town.
This guy was so tired of waiting on his Cybertruck he decided to make his own. As an early reservation holder I totally get it!
Haha how many years can you wait!
@@DrewBuildsStuff please add metal panels to this! or at the very least coroplast sheets with like a chrome vinyl wrap.
Well that’s so cool to see you get it done and see you run it around there that way
You've inspired me ty
Awesome build! Thanks for explaining every step! I just have one safety concern - the seat should really be mounted directly into the frame, just worries me that it will get ripped off during the ride
28:27 I love to see it! A little cable management goes a long way. And I just love seeing things done orderly! It's easy in the eyes and makes troubleshooting, repairs, and modifications that much simpler. 😮💨
extremely great. 😃 increasing solar panel efficiency would be epic.
Brilliant idea
