The BMW Sequence GT by Seungmo Lim, a graduate student at Pforzheim University in Germany is an all-electric concept vehicle that takes only a minute to refuel. The vehicle’s electric motor-wheel drive gives the designer the freedom to work on the form of the machine, giving it a unique front end with double noses for better aerodynamic performance.
The Sequence GT includes next-gen safety systems to protect the occupants and the pedestrians. Moreover, air intakes on the outer side of the nose are used to cool the electric motors, allowing them to function and maximum efficiency. The cabin has four separate seats and the vehicle’s lithium-ion batteries are located under the boot floor.
Lim is envisioning the use of a high-tech battery recharging system being promoted by American company Better Place. The system allows you to drive into the station where a machine, installed under the ground, changes the battery within one minute. The station then uses solar panels to recharge batteries without any harmful emissions.
