Helios Car

The Helios is an electric off-road vehicle powered by solar energy. The body integrates a system of large photovoltaic panels that increases charging capacity. To increase the surface area of photovoltaic panels, when stopped, the upper surface of car transform into a large "fan" with four wings to store more energy.This design was inspired by natural evolution some animals have strechable skin so they can absorb more energy.
