The background: growing energy demand, global warming, fossil fuel depletion, urban pollution…


4

Mass car electrification is not behind the corner

Power recharge now available:

from 3.7 to 22 kW (up to about 120 kW with DC)

Power recharge (energy per unittime) during refill: about

10.000 kW

There is still a very large gap, even with the upcoming fast DC chargers

Gong Q., Midlam-Mohler S., Marano V, Rizzoni G.,”Study of PEV Charging on Residential Distribution Transformer Life”, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid 3: 1. 404-412 March, 2012

Several studies have shown that withpoorly managed charging, even a small number of electric vehicles on a single residential transformer lead to dramatic loss of insulation life.

Impact on the grid

• Up to 20-25% fuel consumption and emissions

reduction in typical urban driving

• Recharge for free with the sun!

• Upgrade EURO3 to EURO4, and so on..

• Zero-emission driving option for controlled traffic zones

• Extended range with respect to the conventional car

• Performance advantages: Higher torque, Two propulsion systems,

Advanced vehicle control, Enhanced acceleration

• Much lower cost than native hybrid: about 3500 €

• Pay-back for customers 3-5 years (lower than a hybrid car)

The benefits


9

Two business models

Business to Client (B2C)

The kit is distributed in after-market and mounted on the existing cars by an installers network.

A very large potential market is addressable, allowing the reuse of most of the existing fleet, with large global

benefits on fuel consumption and pollution.

Business to Business (B2B)

The kit can be applied to new cars by OEMs at the end of line, so enlarging the range of models offered

to clients with ecological versions of their cars without expensive reconversions of production

lines.
