Coming Cruise Car to Showcase Solar Vehicles on Earth Day

Cruise Car debuted back in 2007 with a couple of solar-powered golf carts and conversion kits meant for existing ones. Since then, the company has developed a full line of solar-powered electric vehicles that can carry passengers between 2 and 14 in number. Cruise Car vehicles are known to have a max speed of 35 mph and, just like gas-powered golf carts, are encouraged for use in campuses, villages, municipalities, military bases, parks, resorts and the like. In spite of that, the company claims its vehicles are eligible to be street-legal in almost every state in the US.

There are currently 50 models to choose from to be demonstrated and showcased by Cruise Cars in Capitol Hill, Washington DC on Earth Day this year. You can get a glimpse of the Cruise Car electric hybrid vehicles from 10 in the morning until 1:00 in the afternoon on April 22. "What could be better than Earth Day to show people just how much we benefit from the sun," company spokersperson Greg Hyde says. Besides the solar-powered golf carts and conversion kits though, Cruise Car's parent company Eco-Trans Alliance also offers solar charging stations, solar cart barns, and prefab solar parking garages among other products and services that aim to reduce energy consumption.
