The Sunswift 7 solar electric vehicle would be perfect with this solar-powered floating home, as both help you live completely off-the-grid. However, the former was built by students at UNSW Sydney, and it just set a new Guinness World Record by traveling over 621-miles (1000-kilomters) on a single charge in under 12-hours.
This record did not come without some sacrifices, namely removing ABS brakes, airbags, windscreen wipers and even air conditioning, which can be brutal during the extremely hot Australian summers. On the bright side, it has a drag coefficient of 0.095, which is exception when compared to the Tesla Model S’s 0.208. Why did the trip take 11-hours, 53-minutes and 32-seconds? It was traveling at a near constant 52 mph to conserve energy.

Let’s remember, these are not the best-paid professional car makers in Stuttgart working for Mercedes. This is a bunch of very smart amateurs who have taken all the ingredients and put it together in a brilliant way. I don’t like to call them ‘normal’ students. The reason is that UNSW is the top-ranked engineering university in Australia and this is the top engineering project within the university. So it attracts the very best,” said Richard Hopkins, Team Principal and Professor of Practice.
