Description

In a parking lot at almost every parking slot there is a pillar. So instead of having a charging station for each car, why not just give a plug point ( combo sockets so that they support normal charging and fast charging ) on the pillars in which the power is controlled by a central control system which can be accessed by internet(smartphones), this way cost of installation is low and user experience is improved. Through smartphones user have complete control of the specific socket,changing power voltage, time of charging, switching between normal and fast charging, shutting off the power etc. To provide power to the plug points the best way is to lay underground cables. Laying underground cables is very economical, safe and maintenance free. And as for the new method to generate power, my idea is to generate power from the motion of cars by using piezoelectric mats on the floor, there piezoelectric mats generates voltage whenever a car passes on it causing deformation, all this power can be stored in batteries and used to power the control unit and at places with heavy traffic volume,like malls it can be used to source the grid as well. This method will yield the most feasible results, at places with high density of traffic.
