Retractable Solar Car Cover Charges While it Protects

Retractable Solar Car Cover Charges While it Protects
Feb-14-13
The V-tent, a parking concept for electric cars, charges the car while shading it with a foldable solar cover.

Designed by Hakan Gursu, the solar cover retracts when the parking space is not in use and expands automatically to cover the car once the parking fee has been paid. Besides charging the car’s batteries by harnessing the sun’s energy, the cover also protects the car and discourages theft or break-ins. An LED light indicates the vehicle’s level of charge, and the designer’s plan to incorporate an application that would allow users to access the system with their smartphone.
