Digital prototype
Digital prototype
A functional digital prototype confirmed the solution of two fundamental problems in the design of modern electric cars. The first solution is the MINIMIZATION of the number of elements of which the body itself is composed, the second unique solution allows the MAXIMIZATION of the area to place flexible PV panels ensuring the production of electricity to recharge the battery and extend the range.

The proposed solution works with the concept of vacuum formed plastic (in this particular case a suitable type of polycarbonate) for use in automotive design. The aim of the prototype is to be able to eliminate COSTIC TECHNOLOGICAL PROCEDURES such as metal casting, sheet metal stamping, welding and other traditionally used techniques in the production of car bodies from the production process. Thanks to the full transparency of the body, the proposed solution also brings significantly greater possibilities for variability of light graphics, signaling, location of sensors for autonomous control, cameras and especially the possibility of incorporating flexible photovoltaic panels into (almost) the whole body.

The total area of photovoltaic panels is 2.5 m2. On a sunny day, the PV system is able to supply energy of 5 to 6 kW / h, which is enough for a range of about 40 to 50 km. Theoretically, it is only possible to drive on solar power throughout the summer.

The Israeli start-up REE is developing a universal chassis containing all the technology needed to build its own electric car. The modular chassis platform offers battery, chassis and drive system, software connectivity.
The integration of the designed design of the QUASAR solar electric car sits on this universal chassis and brings higher efficiency thanks to solar charging.
Taiwanese electric scooter manufacturer GOGORO has released its replaceable battery system, which we have incorporated into a tilting box in the cargo area.

We have the ambition to further develop the idea of a solar body in other digital prototypes. The patented industrial design of flexible PV cells integrated into the body panels enables a symbiosis between modern vehicle design with an emphasis on aesthetics, aerodynamics and the energy use of the sun. From city cars, through standard sedans to motorhomes, flexible photovoltaics can be incorporated to increase range.
