The designing, construction and implementation of the Solar and Electric Powered Hybrid Vehicle (SEPHV) are expressed in this paper. The power supply of the SEPHV can be charged by the solar and normal AC power source too. In this system, the series combination of 12V six lead-acid batteries is used for the driving motor power supply (40~60V DC). The 50W six solar panels are used for charging each of batteries. The charge controller is designed to be the supply batteries with the minimum amount charge possible and to protect from overcharge by the solar panels as well as over discharge by the driving motor. In this SEPHV, wireless message display system is also designed by Arduino software. The weight of the car without load is 300kg. As the results, this SEPHV is capable of accommodating at least four persons (250kg) with an average speed of 57km/hr. By using this, we can be able to reduce the all kind pollutions and fuel economy.
