Fransman travels around the world with this old Volkswagen van on solar energy Rémi Pillot, a young French aviation engineer, wants to travel around the world in an electric Volkswagen van with trailer. The thirties from Marseille does not do more than solar energy. Erik Kouwenhoven 1 April 2018 10u52 Source: AD.nl Pillot, who lives in Marseille, has converted his Volkswagen bus into a kind of solar panel on wheels. The car is powered by the 100 hp engine of an electric Ford Transit and is powered by a half battery pack from a Tesla Model S. Under ideal circumstances, the solar panels on its bus and trailer could charge the batteries within eight hours. 3 Rémi Pillot 50,000 kilometers in one and a half years The plan is to drive more than 50,000 kilometers by 30 countries in a year and a half. The French adventurer wants to draw attention to the conversion of existing cars to electric vehicles. Such a conversion would cost less than the purchase of a new electric car. Pillot thinks that there is a huge market for this transition in view of the rapid loss of value of the current diesel cars. He has to practice a little more for solar-powered cars, because the construction of his solar light bus cost more than 100,000 euros.
