Innovative solutions to serve electric mobility in the City

Conference  

Short definition of the Smart City

A city can be defined as ‘smart’ when investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. – Source: Wikipedia

SunPod® Auto: the charging point in the Smart City 1

Solar energy is generated by the solar panels

2 The generated electricity is sent to the charging points

3 The electric cars are charged with « green » electricity

Ø  The production of renewable energy compensates the energy need of the electric vehicles

Ø  Charging infrastructures are made clearly visible, which strengthens their awareness among consumers

Ø  The electric car becomes truy « green » Ø  The association with solar power - free, unlimited, renewable – further improves

electric vehicles’ positive image

Solar energy is generated by the solar panels!

The generated electricity is stored in the station’s batteries!

2 The e-bikes are locked, and and charged with « green »

electricity!
