  Dead weight should be small. Equal to or less than the weight of the payload. Implies extensive use of plastics and ceramic batteries.
  Top speed need not exceed 20Km/Hr. City traffic is much slower than this.
  Avoid drive train.
  Small foot print, Larger dia wheels to navigate pot holed roads. Small turning radius.
  Transparent shell with solar collecting roof.
  Chargeable with ordinary 3 pin 15 amp outlets.

  actually i done a project on it in my acadamies the main problem is with weight and ratings
  solar panels and wind propillers makes this
  and a motor is connected to the shaft to run the vehicle. That motor powers up with the sources and we tested with supercapacitors and normal batteries this shown some advantage
