Description
This project started from a simple concern. In many countries in South Asia and parts of Africa there are problems with hygiene waste management and high fuel prices. Many people also do not have access to clean and affordable energy. Because of this we designed a charging station that gives low cost electricity to users. The system uses solar energy and also collects plastic waste and animal manure to produce power. This helps reduce pollution and gives people a cheaper way to charge electric cars. The platform part of the product can also clean the air. It produces fresh air and improves air quality in the shaded area around the station. This creates a healthier and more comfortable space for users. The form of the design is inspired by the body of an elephant to show respect for wildlife in Africa. The canopy is inspired by baobab trees and provides shade and protection. The station is designed to charge different types of electric vehicles and can be used in many environments.
