An eco-friendly and low-cost electric car with integrated photovoltaic cells
Label Date
July 19, 2018
From
Germany
Maturity stage
TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1
The Sion aims to make electric mobility more affordable and available for a much lower cost and in a market where lack of charging infrastructure and perceived limited range is deterring its uptake. Its characteristics include simple and cost-effective manufacturing by a third party, bi-directional charging (it generates and also provides energy), a range of 250 km on a full charge, and maintenance and mobility services. Furthermore it is shatterproof, light and particularly weather resistant thanks to a polycarbonate layer on the solar cells.
