Australia-based Sunswift Racing has set a new world record with their solar-powered Sunswift 7 EV. The concept vehicle, made by students, covered 1,000km on a single charge in less than 12 hours. The engineering team belongs to the University of New South Wales, Sydney (UNSW), which is known for producing solar-powered cars since 1996. The prototype car tips the scales at 500 kg.
