Srinagar Electric Car Maths teacher from Srinagar creates affordable electric car which runs on solar energy
Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir is known for creating talented minds and this became evident when a maths teacher from the Valley invented an affordable electric car that runs on solar energy.
Bilal Ahmed, who is from Srinagar, was working on the project of creating the car for the past 13 year.
Speaking to ANI, Ahmed said that he wanted to make a car for the disabled but couldn’t pursue this due to financial constraints.
“I wanted to make a car for the disabled people but financial constraints made it difficult. The idea of a solar car intrigued me…that it’s free energy… and recently I also read in newspapers that petrol prices are expected to rise in 10 years,” he said.
“I thought of something to give a luxurious feel to the people and started working on the car and modified it by watching various videos and started adding the features in it,” he said.
“In Kashmir, most of the time, the weather is gloomy. I used solar panels which can give higher efficiency even on low sunlight days. I went to many solar companies to check the efficiency of solar panels and worked on this solar innovative car,” he added.
He said he drove the car on road and so far he has received positive response for it.
