In the future, electric cars and hybrids may be able to “carry†their own solar charging stations, fold them up, and eject them from the trunk of the car. The first solar charging station is expected to be unveiled in Rome later this year and will be part of the Volvo V60 diesel hybrid.
The Pure Tension Pavilion solar charging station has been selected as the champion of the 2013 Pure Volvo Pavilion design competition. This product is trying to subvert the standard exhibition booth, providing shelter and beautiful appearance. At the same time, it also serves as a source of charging.
It is a tensioned film structure that uses HDPE mesh membrane, carbon fiber skeleton, and integrated embedded photovoltaic panels that can be completely folded and inserted into the interior of the V60 car trunk when not in use.
Volvo Car Italia has already delivered this product, which is the result of the joint efforts of design studio Synthesis Design + Architecture, international engineering consulting firm Buro Happold and US Fabric Images. This product will be available in 2013. Released in Rome, Italy.
However, this solar charging station is still an experimental work and is not completely ready for sale. (Compiled by Tao Shuhua)
