Project Developed by WEG Allows Electric Vehicles to Be Charged with Energy Generated by the Sun and Stored in Second-Life Batteries Provided by Energy Source and Originating from BMW Electric Vehicles

Recently, the Brazilian multinational WEG developed, in partnership with giants BMW Brazil and Energy Source, an unprecedented system in Brazil for the fast charging of electric vehicles, which can operate connected or completely disconnected from the power distribution network, using batteries connected to solar panels.

WEG has been reinforcing its strategy in developing sustainable solutions for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and establishing a series of partnerships for the provision of distributed solar generation systems and charging stations for electric vehicles.

The system called Carport Solar Off-Grid allows electric vehicles to be charged with energy generated by the sun and stored in second-life batteries provided by Energy Source and originating from BMW electric vehicles. When the batteries are 100% charged, it is also possible to export excess solar energy back to the power grid.

The Carport Solar Off-Grid, which involved multidisciplinary teams from all partner companies, was installed at BMW’s manufacturing plant in Araquari/SC.

“The future of premium mobility is sustainable, and the BMW Group supports the national development of new technologies that will allow electric vehicles to become an increasingly global reality,” says Vivaldo Chaves, Operations Director of BMW Group Brazil. “By this year, we will have five all-electric models being sold in the country (BMW i3, iX3, i4, iX, and MINI S E), and we believe that Brazil has excellent professionals to lead the transformation of the mobility industry in the region,” adds the executive.

“For us at Energy Source, being part of such an ambitious project in partnership with WEG and BMW is very rewarding, allowing us to share our know-how and demonstrate to the national and international market the excellence of the second-life batteries we have developed, as well as the infinite range of application possibilities,” comments David Noronha, CEO of Energy Source.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.
