1. EVBox charging stations
Blink Charging
Chargepoint
Tesla Supercharger (limited)
Tesla Destination charger
2. We can set up stations with multiple chargers, similar to Tesla Supercharger, but in more areas. The capability to have at-home chargers with our product will also be a key to injecting the product into the market as it fills a very specific need.
3. The specific problem we are dealing with is a lack of options when it comes to chargers (other than Tesla) that provide both time and energy-efficient charging. Chargers, other than Tesla’s, do not provide efficient enough charging. The standard EV battery requires 30 kilowatts per hour of charging in order to charge for 100 miles of driving. The chargers that are on the market only provide 7.2 kilowatts per hour of charging which does not provide an efficient form of charging.
4. Our proposed solution is a product. A product is what our group needs to focus on in order to solve our problem of a lack of charging speed and efficiency, along with a lack of access to these chargers.
5. Potential solutions to this problem would be to amplify the electrical output of the chargers coupled with a more efficient and voltage-dense outlet. The temperature of the battery is key to maintaining charge; creating a casing of sorts that regulates the temperature of the battery would allow for the battery to maintain charge more efficiently.
6. - In the case of using the charger at home, how much would it affect an electric bill?
- Will electric cars continue to become more and more popular, or just die off?
- Will there be different chargers for different echelons of electric cars? (*Ex. One for the Nissan Leaf and one for a Tesla*)
