The Humble One is an EV that is fully solar powered, with zero emissions and totally sustainable. The solar technology features on the EV, like the solar wings, add from 10 to 60 extra miles to the charge per day, depending upon how the car is being used and sunlight conditions.  Humble Motors says the concept turned into prototype is expected to have a range of 500 miles per day. 

Going into Production in 2024

The EV can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and it can accelerate up to 155 mph.  It weighs 4,000 pounds and can seat four people.  The starting price is $109,000. Manufacturing starts in 2024 and deliveries in 2025.  For a comprehensive look at the future of travel, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B08YTGFCG2&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_BNZ4WGTXWTC1T679AH2H
