GE Electric Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle - Concept Design By Misha Shevelkin

GE Electric Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle - Concept Design By Misha Shevelkin : There seems to be an overflow of concept electric vehicles these days and most of these are aimed at the urban commuter who is the one who most frequently sues the city roads.

Not that we are complaining about the trend, but it would be real lovely to see a few of these actually hit the road sooner than later. The GE electric plug-in hybrid vehicle designed by Misha Shevelkin tries to integrate your daily commute and your evening walks into one simple all-electric vehicle.

An attempt to bring together the comfort of the bike and the leisure of the Segway, the plug-in electric vehicle can take you to your office past the rush hour traffic and back home at full throttle and then can stand up on two wheels to give you a peaceful calm drive at 5mph. Whether it is for the casual stroll or rushing to the important meeting, the GE Electric delivers with ease.(psipunk)

Offering carbon-free commute, there is built in Lithium-Ion battery that powers it on and also storage space on the inside that allows you to carry light luggage. With GE moving ahead in its attempt to offer more electric vehicles and also charging stations across North America, building on concept designs like these and improving them to offer on-road options would be a cool way to move forward… Both for us and the planet!

Powered by in-wheel electric motors fed by Lithium-Ion batteries located under the floor pan, the A25 concept is characterized by the use of elastic polymer and advanced textile materials, which allow to change the shape of the car in order to increase the cabin’s height and available space.

Car Design - EALO Electric Car

Sang Jun Lee (24), Seong Been Lim (25) and Kyung kuk Kim (23), students at the Kookmin University in the Industrial Design Department, have designed a car that will not only cut air pollution but also rum smoothly on the road. EALO is a car driven by electric power that will help keep Seoul green and pollution free. With wheels that will help you experience a smooth drive, its organic silhouette will consume minimum electricity and help you cover more distance.

To avoid any bumpy ride the vehicle comes fitted with a fine wheel and suspension. Wheels have been given the shape of a branch which is light, flexible and sturdy. Minimizing the shocks are oil pressure suspensions in each split. Even when there is no air inside the tire, a second split suspension helps provide soft reactions of the tire.(link)

The facade has been inspired from the microscopic image of a bone. The holes made on it lighten the weight, reduces resistance and makes the whole structure tough. Excellently stabilizing the centroid at any point of time and place are the wheels and electric motors of EALO, that move together like a living being.(link)

The shape has been inspired from nature hence an added effort has been made assure it protects our beautiful surroundings as well.
