I Converted My Old Car Into a Solar EV Right Here In My Backyard #IndiaNEWS #Electric Vehicles
Bilal Ahmad, a 40-year-old mathematics teacher from Srinagar spent 13 long years in his backyard transforming his ideas into reality. It was in 2009 when he thought of designing a car powered by non-conventional energy.
Cut to 2022, the innovator has come up with a fully automated car, that runs on solar energy, a kind of first in the valley.

From a distance, the car with doors that can be lifted with black screens looks like something out of the Transformers movie franchise.
Equipped with all the remotely controlled latest gadgetry, the car is fully automatic. With gullwing doors which can bend like our limbs, a bonnet and a dickey that runs on hydraulic technique, it gives the essence of a Mercedez or Nissan to any onlooker.
Nissan Micra 1988 was one of the base models that he converted into an automatic car and then into an electric car. He says, “I liked the design and thought it suitable for this project. But connecting the motor with gear in this car was one of the toughest challenges I went through. ??? He later supplemented the car with solar energy.
Most of the surface of the car is covered with black-tinged solar panels that can rotate in any direction. Powered by a high kilowatt motor, it can run like any other normal car on the road. There is a space for 5 people, and the car is a dual system, as it is fitted with a high-end chargeable battery as well. With a charging point prominently adjacent to the dickey, it can be charged at any charging station.
According to the innovator, the solar panels automatically rotate in the direction of more sunlight. This feature has tremendous importance particularly, in the places like Kashmir, where there is a problem of cloudy weather during winters. As the normal solar panels are usually 20 per cent to 30 per cent less efficient in such weather. Bilal says, to overcome the problem, he has used monocrystalline solar panels which are known to function efficiently in less visibility or sunshine also.
Bilal claims that his car is equipped with all the latest gadgetry and is presently the cheapest among other cars in the sector presently available in the world. He claims to be able to build this car for Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 lakh, provided he gets a platform to produce this car in lots.
Alternatively, it took him Rs 15 lakh to build this car, as the cost increased due to the continuous replacement of devices in search of efficient ones.
The solar panels automatically rotate in the direction of more sunlight.
It all started in 2009 when Bilal Ahmad after getting his LPG control safety device patented, thought of developing a future car of the world for the common masses.
