Overview
Along with the development of the electric vehicle, the automobile industry introduced electric and petrol-free vehicle.
Squad Mobility, a Dutch company, unveiled the world’s first solar city vehicle at the CES in Las Vegas.
Squad Vehicle Design With Solar Panel
This is the world’s first vehicle designed to be utilized for intra-city travel on sunny days and does not require charging with electricity. Its key feature is the solar panels mounted to the roof, which can also replenish the car’s battery while driving during the day.
The Squad is a small Urban Car that is intended for L6 and L7 homologation. The 45 km/h L6 is designed for two people, and the 70 km/h L7 is designed for up to four people.
Most nations do not require a driver’s license for the L6. Heating is included, but doors and air conditioning are available as extras, and the batteries are portable and interchangeable.
Squad Solar Vehicle self-charges
The Squad recharges its batteries continuously using solar energy from a solar panel on its own roof. There are no emissions, it is free, it is silent, and it is wireless. Throughout its life cycle, both whiles traveling and when parked. Even in northern nations such as the Netherlands, the sun provides sufficient energy for daily urban usage. In Europe, solar panels can charge up to 20 kilometers each day.
Squad Solar Vehicle Travelling
The average daily mileage of a microcar is about 12 kilometers. The solar panel operates under all lighting conditions, including shade. Because the vehicle is powered by electric motors and batteries, it may operate at night, in the cold, or indoors. When more range is required, the portable batteries may be charged straight from a standard power outlet.
Squad Vehicle Features
This vehicle includes 4-wheel disc brakes, seat belts, and a roll cage, all of which are given for the passengers’ protection.
Comfort & Storage
The Squad features a high seating posture that is quite comfortable, with simple access through the huge door apertures.
The unusually low dashboard provides space for baggage or even a laptop without impeding the view out the front window. A Smartphone holder with USB charging include on the dashboard. Of course, cup holders are provided for coffee on the go in the city.
Easily Removed Doors
For those hot summer days, Squad has innovative retractable doors. Doors are optional and may purchase individually at a later date. Sliding down in the door allows you to open the windows.
Replaceable Batteries
The squad may contain up to four portable and replaceable batteries.
Each battery has a capacity of 1.66 kWh, for a total capacity of 6.44 kWh and a range of up to 100 km.
The Finest Bumpers are Tires
Wheels and tires extend from the bodywork in the front and back, acting as bumpers.
In a crowded metropolitan setting where automobiles frequently collide with one another and encounter obstructions in the street, this is a highly practical solution.
It also makes cross-parking against the curb easier, even if the curb is quite high.
Security and safety
For its class, the Squad is quite safe. The roll cage and comprehensive front and rear crash structures are more than necessary for homologation in this sector and provide adequate passenger protection. Seat belts and standard headrests are standard on the Squad.
Because of its wide and low center of gravity, the Squad is stable in rain and snow, as well as across tram rails and curbs. Because of the elevated commanding sitting position, there is an excellent view over and through other traffic.
Space Frame
The distinctive aluminum space frame chassis is light and a conspicuous feature of the Squad’s design. It protects the passengers as a full safety cage, but it also protects and supports the glass and solar panel, making the Squad extremely durable and strong.
Especially for the tough realities of shared inner-city transportation use. Aluminum can recycle up to 98% of the time, making it an extremely sustainable metal and element. It is also light, which increases the Squad’s effectiveness, and its natural resistance to corrosion makes it a remarkably lasting material.
