The battery car

Why isn’t everyone driving around in electric cars yet, you ask? Well, the main challenges preventing mass adoption are both the limited number of charging stations and the time it takes to charge. But salvation is near: the Revive ‘battery car’ is a mobile charging station that can ‘revive’ a car with a low battery by charging it at home, work, or wherever it is parked. Furthermore, its battery pack can be easily replaced at the hub to avoid having to charge the… charger.

The idea might seem new, but it’s actually based on well-known technologies like Lithium Sulfur batteries, fuel-up-at-home services, and power tools with replaceable batteries. Cross-industry inspirations make sure you combine existing technologies to your context.
