Hands-Free Chargingfor electric vehicles
Unlock roadblocks to
GO massively electric
ReVOLUTIONIZE electric vehicle usage
Battery always charged
Battery always charged
As the vehicle is plugged in once a day, the battery is always charged: no more range anxiety for daily commutes.
No manual plugging
No manual plugging action from the driver
The vehicle is automatically plugged in as soon as it is parked on its usual slot freeing the user, no more to take a bulky cable out of the car, to plug it in, to unplug it and then to store it back in the car full of dirt or moisture.
EV is always preconditioned
EV is always preconditioned for the next trip
EV is always preconditioned: temperature of your choice every day, windscreen de iced in wintertime, interior cooled down in summertime.
No longer need to go to the station
No longer need to go to the station
No waste of time to drive to the station, to find a working charging point, to wait there until the battery is charged, and then to drive back.
MAKES Electric Vehicles AffORDABLE
Reduces charging power required by 25%
Lower the charging power needed
As the vehicle is plugged once a day and for a long time, only a limited quantity of energy has to be charged during a long time requiring a lower on board charger power. Both vehicle and SELFPLUG installation will be more affordable.
Extends battery life by 2 years
Increase battery lifespan
As the vehicle is plugged in once a day and energy used for daily commutes is only a fraction of battery capacity, its charge level can be always maintained in a limited range, typically between 50% and 80%. This new charging strategy will increase the battery lifetime by 25% at least.
Rightsize battery capacity to EV usage
Rightsize battery capacity
As battery is charged once a day, for daily commutes just a fraction of the battery capacity is used. Full battery capacity is used only for occasional long-distance trips . Users that will do a few long-distance trip a year may choose a lower battery capacity to get a more affordable EV.
Lower energy cost
Lower energy cost
As the vehicle is plugged in once a day and for hours, battery can be charged when energy cost is at its lowest. Energy can be stored when at its lowest cost and then retrieved when its value is higher. EV becomes a source of revenue.
