Two US doctoral students are planning a 3,200 mile road trip completely powered by the sun. Garrett Fitzgerald and Rob van Haaren at Colombia University have designed a trailer that holds flexible solar panels which will charge up their EV batteries during the day, so they can drive to their next stop in the evening.
