Why is this the car of the future?

Climate change at my doorstep

Price of inaction > upfront costs of action

We are not moving fast enough.

“1 in 6 deaths on Earth are linked to air pollution.”

— BBC The UN forecasts irreversible effects of climate change.

“Externalities of fossil fuels cost $1.9 trillion per year.”

— IMF

.

It’s already possible 1,500 km Solar-assisted range

70 km/h

5 persons and still charging

The problem we want to solve

Problem - Half of cars still ICE in 2035

Tipping points for mass adoption of electric vehicles still out of sight Tipping points >450 km range

<€30,000 purchase price

<15 mins charging time

Only 3% live near charging points

Current electric cars are not scalable.

High energy usage requires fast-charging infrastructure

Adoption rate heavily constrained by infrastructure development

Energy input mainly produced by non-sustainable sources

Using clean energy to charge electric cars.

Replacing power plants

Increased demand; upgrade grid

Roof panels needed for households
