With the demand for electric vehicles increasing with every passing day, researchers and designers are focusing on a completely different issue – electricity to charge all those electric vehicles. Finding green sources of electricity and harnessing them to power the green vehicles is what the world needs today…
Industrial designer Neville Mars has tried to solve the problem by designing a unique car port where cars will be kept cool under the shade of solar panels, which will also generate electricity to charge the EV’s parked under. Solar Forest, as Neville refers to his design, incorporates a wide array of solar panels that function as trees to harness solar energy and provide shade at the same time.
Solar panels are mounted on poles, which carry power outlets. Whenever you park your EV under any of these poles you can directly connect your car to the socket for a green recharge.
