Venturi Eclectic

It functions as a small renewable energy production and storage plant (with a roof mounted solar panel and it's wind turbine) and can be recharged at any outlet of the power grid.

[1] The Eclectic concept appeared at the Paris Motor Show in 2006, and was mentioned in Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2007.

It has more limited accommodation but would be more readily driven (and parked) in a crowded urban environment.

[4] 2010 was a strategic year for Venturi with the launch of construction of an assembly plant for its electric vehicles in Sablé-sur-Sarthe.

The Eclectic nevertheless remains noteworthy as the first solar-powered car developed with mass production in mind.
