This homemade microcar from Gujarat is tiny in size but big on sustainable travel

A man from Gujarat's Rajkot has turned his frustration with daily traffic congestion into an innovative solution by building a compact solar-powered electric microcar. Designed and developed by Paresh Bhai after nearly a year of research, the homemade two-seater electric vehicle is attracting attention for its unique design and eco-friendly features.

The battery-powered microcar measures just 3.5 feet wide, 7 feet long and 4.5 feet high, making it ideal for navigating crowded city roads and fitting into tight parking spaces. It is equipped with a 75 Ah battery, a 1.5-kilowatt electric motor and three 150-watt solar panels mounted on the roof.
