"It’s not a legacy automaker or exciting start-up that’s responsible for the
world’s fastest solar-powered EV—it’s a group of college students.
Sunswift 7, a solar-powered race car designed and built by engineering students
at the University of New South Wales Sydney (UNSW), recently set a record when
it became the first solar electric car to cover 1,000 km (621 miles) in under
12 hours, according to New Atlas. It’s not just an unofficial mark, either. It
was certified Guinness World Records.
The student-produced car achieved the feat at the Australian Automotive
Research Center in Wensleydale, Victoria. The Sunswift 7 set the new record
after circling the facility’s test track 240 times in a hair over 11 hours and
52 minutes. During that time, the car traveled at an average speed of 52.8 mph.
A few days later, Guinness certified the vehicle the “Fastest EV over 1000km on
a single charge” after analyzing and confirming timing and telemetry data."
