Production Technology

Lithium ion batteries have a key role in our life. There are researches about making them more compact with huge capacities. In the following years, the technology will be much more developed and as a result, they will be utilized in many different areas like in electric cars. The idea of spare lithium ion batteries was born so.

Design Challenge

Kundekari is a well known, traditional motive in our culture. I want to utilize it in my design but the most challenging part is to locate this precious motive of the culture in the design. So I thought that the most convenient way to utilize it in my design is to integrate it with wheel rim design. It was the best way both for design and motive.

Project Duration

Assos is an inspiring, virgin town. During my holiday in Assos, the idea of environment friendly Assos electric car was born and I started sketching. It took 2 months for realizing it. I dedicate it to lovely town Assos.

Operation Flow

The batteries will provide additional energy with its 3 spare battery sockets in the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle may enjoy extra movement and maneuver capability by the energy provided for an additional time.

Research

The wheel rim references its shape to a traditional well known motive of Seljuk linking modern times to historical culture. It has been combining all cultures from Seljuk to Ottoman from Ottoman to present. The motive has an endless ride between generations.

Inspiration

Assos is an inspiring, virgin, small historical town located in Aegean coast of Turkey away from city center. During my holiday in Assos, the idea of environment friendly Assos electric car with spare batteries was born. The idea of external spare batteries comes from external hard disk which enables data transport whereever we go. Like external hard disk, these batteries are portable. The energy to move your car is everytime within when it is urgent.
