Eco Factor: Electric car recharging station generates electricity from renewable sources.
Electric cars of the future will need to be quick both in speed and in the time they need to get recharged. Current technology allows a car to be recharged within a couple of hours. This, though quick for an electric car, is sluggish when compared to gasoline cars. Designer Metin Giousouf has designed a low-tech solution for quick charge – replace the batteries with recharged ones when a car comes in for a recharge.
The station generates electricity with the help of renewable energy systems that include solar and wind energy. Whenever a car comes for a recharge a robotic system removes the discharged batteries from the car and puts it on a conveyer belt. This belt takes the battery to an underground battery recharge point and replaces it with a completely charged battery. The whole process is done in a couple of minutes so you can drive away your car immediately.

The Dark Side:
The system does show great use of renewable energy, however, the system doesn’t look feasible for all cars. All cars in the future will have different batteries just like cellphones of today. In such a case replacing a battery will need a similar battery in good condition already being recharged, which might be hard to find, especially in rural areas.
