Driving a car for about 1 cent per kilometer?

The TREV (two-seater renewable energy vehicle) can carry two people with overnight bags and reach a top speed of 120 km/h with minimal road noise and zero emissions.
The University of South Australia's clean car uses less than a fifth of the energy of a conventional car and is designed for a future without petrol.

TREV is not a hybrid but a fully electric car whose batteries are recharged with energy from renewable sources, mainly solar and wind. The working prototype is fit for everyday urban commuter use with an ultra-light body and 150-kilometre driving range. After that, it has to be plugged in and recharged, which takes up to four hours.
