According to Zhang, it takes automakers at least four to five years to bring a concept car to launch. As for the new technologies involved in such solar powered cars, it would take much more than five years.

The effective roof area of passenger cars is less than two square meters, which would fail to generate enough power to meet the 40-kilometer daily range of Hanergy's solar-powered cars, said Zhang, who was negative about the prospects for partnership between Hanergy and passenger carmakers.
