The alternative solar car of the current car, as it solves the problems of pollution and shortage of fossil energy. But this model is under development, we face many challenges, storage of the largest energy and low energy efficiency of solar panels. So we must find the best way to exploit this energy. In this work, we propose an electronic control circuit of the electric energy stored or used in the car, in order to obtain a higher speed and more distance while maintaining the characteristics of the solar car. The electronic circuit is an intelligent system has the ability to drive energy and the recording of all necessary data Electric vehicles ultimately provide a real solution to many of the current problems related to environmental pollution. In line with current public issues, the electric vehicle is quiet. In addition, it is considered as environmentally friendly since it does not emit CO2. This paper tries to answer the question can solar energy completely replaces fossil fuel energy used in land transportation? The paper also highlights a new approach to improve energy management in a solar car. The global objectives of the energy management system are to guarantee the general power balance, and to get the maximal amount of braking energy. Electric vehicle is a complex assembly that includes various parts like mechanical, electrical, control, pneumatic, electrochemical and management etc. A fully autonomous vehicle in real dimensions was built to implement the new strategy and management control using Matlab/Simulink and electronics compounds. A prototype electric vehicle was built having reached speed of 100 km/h and an autonomy range of 60 km with a minimum number of PV modules and on-board batteries.
