Pavegen and Tesla introduced a pilot charger Bashny.Net

At the moment the main problem for electric cars is the lack of charging stations. Of course companies are developing infrastructure, but for example, if the car is in the centre of town and not around a charging station, you may be in a bind.





But engineers came up with an interesting solution that will help to solve this problem. If you Park in the center, pedestrians can help with charging the batteries of your car.

Company Pavegen together with the manufacturer of electric cars Tesla introduced a pilot charger that charges your electric car thanks to the kinetic energy of the steps. But you will need "several hundred thousand" steps to charge the battery of the Model S in 20 minutes, told the company's representatives in an interview with PSFK. You are unlikely to charge your car fully.

But anyway, to get a charge enough to get to the station is quite real. The centers of major cities are chock-full of pedestrians, and if you use a large enough section of pavement, then charging happens much faster. Of course still very far from the moment when you will see this technology in action.

Pavegen announced the collection of funds for the development of the technology, and much depends on the adoption of this innovation by the city authorities and corporations, whose offices are usually located in the center. But if the project is successful, to get home you will help ordinary pedestrians. published
