Limited fossil fuel resources is the primary threat to the automotive industry and also greenhouse gas emissions are one of the major sources of global warming. Electric vehicles are found to be the key for reducing the emissions and fossil fuel consumption in the automobile sector, but the range anxiety is one of the primary drawbacks of these vehicles. The first part of the paper deals with the application of solar energy to increase the range of plug-in electric vehicles. The second part deals with the design considerations related to the plug-in electric solar vehicle.
