Brilliant Lebanese man transforms petrol-powered car into electric vehicle power

Briefly News reported on a brilliant man called Ahmad al-Safadi who converted his old small petrol-powered car to run on sunshine in response to Lebanon's reduction in fuel subsidies for its citizens.

The 31-year-old Lebanese fitted motorcycle batteries to the car as well as a solar panel to supplement power when the batteries run low on charge. It means Al-Safadi is able to charge the car while he drivers.

In the event of driving longer distances, Al-Safadi can replace the motorcycle batteries with larger ones to increase the electric range. At the moment larger batteries aren't necessary for the repairman because the car is only driven for short distances in the city of Sidon.
