This Is Not a Suitcase, It’s a Portable Battery Here to Save the Lives of Electric Car Owners. Technology Will Be Launched in 2022 and Can Be Charged at Home!

The anxiety of range is still one of the most used arguments to doubt the purchase of an electric car. What if I’m stranded in the middle of nowhere and there are no chargers? Richie Sibal and Jonathan Carrier, two electronics experts, propose to solve it with a suitcase battery.

The portable charger is the first component in a global EV portable charging platform that the company intends to set up, which will include hardware, software, machine learning, and new ownership models. Check all the details in the video below!

32 Extra Kilometers That Can Save You from Trouble

Just as we can have a drum of gasoline in the trunk of the car for emergencies, this suitcase called ZipCharge would provide some extra charge to solve range issues for electric cars in trouble. It even comes with wheels for easy transport.

Charging the suitcase itself can be done at home with a traditional plug, and a mobile app can show the charge status both at that plug and while charging the car. In fact, the port it includes is bidirectional, designed to store energy on the main grid when it is most generated and provide it when it is lacking.

Currently, the idea is to launch the first units of this ZipCharge at the end of 2022, either in a single payment or with the option to subscribe for around 58 euros per month. As an option to have in the trunk in case of an emergency, it could be useful.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.
