Car companies around the world continue their steps for electric vehicles. Manufacturer based in Germany at BMW one of the highlights. New information shows that the giant brand has very interesting plans in this regard.

A patent application, first noticed by CarBuzz and later spotted by The Verge, is a patent application we often see on the road to charge BMW’s electric vehicles. of the bumps He showed that he wanted to use it. According to the filing, the company plans to do this with a special system.

A new suspension system is intended to allow the car to load up and down as the wheel moves up and down.

Made in Germany in 2021; however, according to the translation of the application just released, the company with suspension design it wants to supply energy to the batteries of its electric vehicles, which we all encounter on the road. According to the document, the energy normally generated by the up and down motion of the wheel is consumed as heat energy. However, the system proposed in the patent uses a small amount of energy to absorb the energy during this process. generator contains.

Accordingly, the generator is activated after the wheel of the passing vehicle rises and can charge the electric car or the battery. The company will use this system in the future. like i7 It is estimated that it can be used in larger and luxury premium vehicles.

BMW has not made any statements about whether this system will go into production. However, car companies are constantly filing such different patent applications; but we must add that not all of them came true. So whether BMW will definitely make such a move or not? not clear for now.

Companies are trying in all kinds of ways to increase the efficiency of their electric cars

Using Kasiss for such purposes is not a new idea. Another car giant Audi In 2016, he stated that he wanted to convert the kinetic energy of the bumps in the road into electrical energy and announced his project ‘eROT’. However, this Audi system was never produced. It is also unknown if the company is currently working on this issue. In addition, let’s add that US-based Giga Performance is working on such a system for electric vehicles.

These moves by BMW and other brands are clear evidence that EV manufacturers are trying every possible way to improve the efficiency of their vehicles. We will see in the coming years how effective such interesting systems will be.
