VIDEO: A 3D PRINTED ELECTRIC CAR THAT ACTUALLY DRIVES AND CHARGES OFF A SOLAR POWERED HOUSE

Built using newly-developed large-scale printing technology, this fully drivable 3D PRINTED car is doing its bit for the environment. The eco-friendly vehicle was created as part of an ambitious project by the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Experts there wanted to develop a car and house that can run on sustainable energy. The vehicle runs off a battery and has been designed to pair up with a building, which powers itself from a solar panel on the roof. Surplus solar power is stored in batteries connected to the house, and the car parks on a wireless pad outside.
