Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors, PayPal, SpaceX & Solar City (His cousins run it, but it was his idea) is unveiling the new All American Super Charger System. This will be the first time anyone has laid eyes on a brand new 21st Century Upgrade to the way we energize our vehicles.
Its healthy to speculate…So lets do it. I predict a charging station where 1 of the 3 will be presented but 2 will remain on Elon’s Mind.
1) Quick swap: I believe that Elon knows that this would be the fastest and most amazing way to recharge a vehicle. I imagine an elaborate economical/environmentally friendly approach of a robotized under-car battery swap station. Where the driver rolls up to a platform…….A robot underneath the car unscrews and un-mounts the battery and swaps it out with a fully recharged battery……The discharged battery will be kept and recharged waiting for the next EV.
2) Wireless charging: The technology is in the name. Nikola Tesla was striving for wirelessly powering our homes and technology with the energy from the Earth. However, on a much smaller scale. Just like the PowerMat (http://powermat.com/), vehicles would simply pull up to a parking area where our vehicles would sit and charge while we walk inside the store to grab a bite to eat or rest.
3) Solar Powered Charging Station: This is what I feel he will unveil. Think of a modern day Fossil Fuel station only on steroids! The station canopy would have either “Standard” Solar Panels or Thin Film solar systems. My guess is on the Standard solar panels simply because….C’mon its Elon were talking about. His cousins own and run SolarCity (http://www.solarcity.com/), so of course he’s going to hook it up.
Wait..I’m not done “Speculating.”
So we got the Solar Panels down, so whats next….Well, we need to store the excess energy…..
Excess what?!
Yes! In the blink of an eye Our Sun puts out enough energy to power the Earth for a year. So with that said, the energy needs to be stored for night time commuters, this needs to be a 24/7 system. Renewable charging stations is going to cost a fortune at first, but over time, Elon and his cousins will save so much money that their ROI will climb and never fall.
Expect the station to be lit up by LED (Exclusively). Elon does not hold a Physics degree for nothing. Just as Michio Kaku, Elon too looks at the world in numbers and physics. His mind is different from yours and mine. He is a genius and what more he is an entreprenuer and a genius.
His goal, if not obvious to you, is to take over the Transportation Industry. Did you ever watch Futurama? Remember the tubes the characters would zip inside of to get around?
Oh yeah, he’s eyeing that too. Elon is poising himself to be the Father of 21st Century Transportation!
Embrace Change!

The quick-change technique is already in use in Israelpalestine.

Welcome and thank you for the comment. Your reply is interesting, I was not aware that Israel have done this. Would you mind posting a link to an article that you recommend so that I may read about it?
I don’t know of an article offhand. There was an interview on the radio some years back with a principal of a company that was promoting and working the battery-change approach and they had at the time more change stations in “Israel” than anywhere else.
