INSPIRATION
The depleting fossil fuel reserves and the harm to the environment caused by their use call for promoting the use of electric vehicles (EVs). For greater adoption, EVs need to address issues such as high price, poor battery, inadequate charging infrastructure, fleet electrification, as well as powering renewable energy-based charging grids.
The US-based Startup Lordstown Motors Corps makes an all-electric pickup truck.The truck,EnduranceTM, is designed to be a sturdy work vehicle and comes with fewer moving parts compared to traditional commercial vehicles, thus enabling easier maintenance. It features 4 hub electric motors to provide a four-wheel drive and is capable of traveling more than 250 miles (400 km) on a single charge.
German startup ChargeX offers a modular EV charging solution that converts parking spaces into charging stations.The startup’s platform, Aqueduct, is easy to install, has 4 charging modules with up to 22kW, provides monthly reports,and uses a Typ2 charging cable. The solution recognizes the power requirements of every car and automatically controls the charging speed for each vehicle.
