Electric cars are quite likely going to become mainstream in just a couple of year's time (as soon as their pricing becomes more competitive, compared to the gas guzzlers of the world), and for this reason, a company called Nation-E has decided to develop a solution that will allow users to recharge their vehicle's batteries wherever they might be, namely the Angel Car mobile charging station.

The technology behind the concept is simple, yet effective and reminds of first-aid break-down service, where a big carrier with an over-size battery recharges a stranded vehicle via a tube, so that the stranded vehicle can continue on his path towards a nearby charging station.

Nation-E’s Mobile Charging System can be installed on any standard service car or on a dedicated Angel Car unit.

This Angel Car Mobile Service Unit is equipped with an on-board 230V charger that is capable to charge a stranded vehicle in less than 15 minutes with 2-3 kWh of, enabling up to 30km of additional autonomy.

The communication between the stranded vehicle and the Angel Car is facilitated through Nation-E’s high-end Battery Management System.

This system is capable to converse and examine the parameters and the verification permits of the car battery, and determine the quantity and intensity of energy that should be fast-charged into the stranded vehicle.

This hyper- intelligent unit is equipped with a touch screen that enables the controlled flow of energy.

While the Angel Car is just a concept prototype for the time being, it's quite likely to become a full-fledged production unit in the coming years, when the number of EVs in the streets will finally make it economically feasible.
