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.

New Technologies Will Allow Electric Vehicles to Become an Increasingly Global Reality

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Satellite images show that Brazil has shrunk by more than 2.5 million hectares of rivers and lakes in 40 years, and the Pantanal, which depends almost 100% on rain due to the lack of dams, was 56% below the historical average of water in 2025.

China activates a 35.6-tesla super magnet in Beijing, surpassing Earth’s magnetic field by 700,000 times and opening a new phase in the race for semiconductors, clean energy, and extreme science.

Between four giant rocks and without electricity, a stone house built in 1974 in the Serras de Fafe in Portugal impresses by using natural granite as the structure of the dwelling.

Stone tower in Scotland is over 2,000 years old, about 13 meters high, was built without mortar on a remote island, and still intrigues archaeologists about its true function.

Far beyond the melting ice in the Arctic, a study reveals that carbon hidden in deep layers of permafrost may escape sooner than expected and turn frozen soils into a new source of CO₂.
