PLUG 202
The expansion of charging infrastructure can no longer keep up with the growth of electric cars on German roads.
PLUG 202 concept offers people an additional charging option for their vehicles. This should eliminate the “fear of range” and reduce stress of searching for an electric parking lot.
User friendliness and transparency in use have the highest priority.
This thesis is not only based on experience reports, literature research, discussions with the affected target group, as well as an experienced electronics technician, but also on my own enthusiasm and interest in the future development of the automotive industry.
