The transportation sector contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, largely from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Solar Panel Vehicles (SPVs) are emerging clean mobility solutions. This paper presents a comparative examination of EVs and SPVs focusing on energy efficiency, lifecycle environmental impact, economic feasibility, geographic suitability, and future technological prospects. EVs exhibit high energy-to-wheel efficiency (60–77%) and widespread commercial adoption, while SPVs offer energy self-sufficiency through photovoltaic (PV) integration but are limited by surface area and solar variability. The study reviews literature, datasets, prototype performance, global case studies, and technological trends. Findings indicate EVs are currently more practical and scalable, whereas SPVs are most effective as range-extenders or hybrid solutions in high-insolation regions. The future of sustainable mobility likely combines EV platforms with integrated solar technology and renewable-powered grids.
