Abstract

The present research aims to demonstrate the importance of renewable energies in the automotive sector for the reduction of polluting emissions to the environment. The automotive field has been looking for options to avoid environmental pollution and give the best service, comfort to the user. After years, there has been talk of renewable energies that are sources in unlimited quantities so they do not run out while they are being used. At present it is already a fact of the use of electric vehicles where it has not been possible to take a great step to electro mobility, due to the price, autonomy and useful life of the batteries with which these vehicles work. Today there is talk of solar energy to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles, which are powered by photovoltaic cells that make solar energy into electricity, the same that is responsible for supplying the electric motor or batteries of the electric car.
