 ABSTRACT
The objective of this project is to reduce
carbon print by using solar panels and rechargeable
batteries that converts a diesel engine into a fully electric
car. Battery is recharged by two sources one from the solar
panel and the other from the output of the generator
connected to the front wheel of the car.
 INTRODUCTION

An electric vehicle also referred to as

an electric drive vehicle, uses one or more electric motors or
traction motors for propulsion. Electric vehicle are powered
by batteries that are contained with the vehicle and usually
provide an adequate charge for the propulsion of the vehicle.
Some of the earlier designs of electric cars included a means
to charge the vehicle using kinetic energy generated by the
vehicle itself. Interchangeable batteries are used that may be
replaced with the charged battery which can be recharged
when the vehicle is in motion.

 PROBLEMS FACED

Batteries are too costly

Battery should be replaced when its life is poor

 Frequent recharging is very important drawback

Recharging time is high and waiting for recharging is a big pain

Access for recharge is not easily available outside the home, but

in the case of petrol and diesel availability, it is not a problem

 PROPOSED SYSTEM

The main disadvantage of the electric

vehicle is recharging the battery. In our proposed model self

charging is performed by the generator connected to the front

wheel of the car. This will increase the distance travelled by the

electric car. A solar panel is placed at the top of the car which

is used as the additional source

 conclusion:

The concept of plug in charging which is found in

conventional battery electric vehicles was targeted to replace by
the concept of self charging in the defined work. We can conclude
that the vehicle travels for longer distance when the charging
system has been adopted. This depicted the successful results in
extracting the rotational energy from the wheels through an
alternator to charge the batteries arranged in series. An voltage
booster circuit is used to step up the voltage.
