Affordable & Clean Energy

What is the problem you found?

How might we use environmentally friendly methods to power EV Charging stations that are inexpensive and readily available? 

Eco Roads addresses the challenge of sourcing cost-effective and readily available power for electric vehicle charging stations while prioritising environmentally friendly methods. This problem revolves around the need for sustainable energy solutions to support the growing demand for electric vehicles, aiming to enhance accessibility and affordability in the charging infrastructure.

Customer / Problem

Our customers are people that drive electric cars and how they get electricity to power their cars.

 

The pains that electric car drivers face are frustrations with the recurring issues of battery depletion and the high costs associated with recharging, this product offers a solution. Our target customers are individuals seeking a more sustainable and affordable alternative to power their electric vehicles. By implementing our product, they can bid farewell to the constant worry of depleted batteries and enjoy a cost-effective, environmentally friendly method of charging, contributing to a more seamless and economical electric driving experience.

What Is Your Solution?

Our Eco Roads product involves the installation of a substantial, hollow cylindrical structure positioned on a raised pole along roadways. This cylindrical unit, when engaged by the motion of passing vehicles, transforms the kinetic energy generated into electricity. This electricity is then channeled and transmitted to nearby Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging stations. The mechanical interaction between the vehicle and the cylindrical spinner becomes a means of generating clean and renewable energy, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly power source for electric vehicles.
