3 The background: growing energy demand, global warming, fossil fuel depletion, urban pollution 3

4 Mass car electrification is not behind the corner Power recharge now available: from 3.7 to 22 kw (up to about 120 kw with DC) Power recharge (energy per unit time) during refill: about kw There is still a very large gap, even with the upcoming fast DC chargers Several studies have shown that with poorly managed charging, even a small number of electric vehicles on a single residential transformer lead to dramatic loss of insulation life.

5 The proposal: a kit to convert conventional cars into hybrid solar vehicles 5

6 How does it work PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS ON-BOARD CONTROL LI-ION BATTERY IN-WHEEL MOTORS 6

7 A FLEXIBLE PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL WO/2013/ ELECTRIC MOTOR WHEEL ASSEMBLY THREE TILTING WHEELS WO/2010/ KIT FOR TRANSFORMING A CONVENTIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE INTO A SOLAR HYBRID VEHICLE, AND RELEVANT MOTORVEHICLE WO/2011/ Three patents from eproinn and partners 7

8 The benefits Up to 20-25% fuel consumption and emissions reduction in typical urban driving Recharge for free with the sun! Upgrade EURO3 to EURO4, and so on.. Zero-emission driving option for controlled traffic zones Extended range with respect to the conventional car Performance advantages: Higher torque, Two propulsion systems, Advanced vehicle control, Enhanced acceleration Much lower cost than native hybrid: about 3500 Pay-back for customers 3-5 years (lower than a hybrid car) 8

9 Two business models Business to Client (B2C) The kit is distributed in after-market and mounted on the existing cars by an installers network. A very large potential market is addressable, allowing the reuse of most of the existing fleet, with large global benefits on fuel consumption and pollution. Business to Business (B2B) The kit can be applied to new cars by OEMs at the end of line, so enlarging the range of models offered to clients with ecological versions of their cars without expensive reconversions of production lines. 9
