Ocean-Inspired Eco-Cars

The MiraQua Concept Car Puts a Fresh Face on the Electric Car

— March 3, 2011 — Autos
The MiraQua concept car is everything you have ever wanted an electric car to be. That may be a lofty statement, but I believe that Chaoyi Li's little electric car has the stuff needed to dethrone its much larger and less fuel-efficient competition.

For starters, the MiraQua concept car addresses the interior size issue plaguing many all-electric cars. The MiraQua is designed with a roomy interior designed to fit three comfortably. The whole back portion of the MiraQua actually opens up to make it easier for the rear passenger to enter and exit the car.

Li's MiraQua concept car is also a lot more stylish than past electric rides. The green and blue tinted windshields are an intentional feature designed to make a bunch of MiraQuas on the road look like a body of water. Eco-friendly and eye-pleasing designs like this could sway public opinion away from bulkier hybrid cars and onto smaller all-electric rides like the MiraQua.
Trend Themes
1. Ocean-inspired Electric Cars - Car manufacturers can incorporate eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing designs inspired by oceans to attract environmentally conscious customers, while addressing the interior size issues of all-electric cars.
2. Roomy Interior All-electric Cars - Designers can create all-electric cars with a roomy interior to enhance the comfort of passengers and make it easier for them to enter and exit the car, while promoting sustainable mobility solutions.
3. Stylish Electric Cars - Electric car makers can focus on designing cars with eye-catching features to appeal to style-conscious customers, and offer alternatives to larger and less fuel-efficient hybrid cars.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - Car manufacturers can leverage ocean-inspired designs and roomy electric car interiors to create stylish and environmentally friendly cars that drive the sustainable transportation industry forward.
2. Automotive Design - Designers can reimagine the traditional all-electric car by prioritizing the comfort and style of passengers, while innovating eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing designs that appeal to the public.
3. Sustainable Mobility Solutions - The shift towards sustainable mobility solutions that prioritize eco-friendliness and aesthetics can pave the way for electric cars that offer consumers comfortable and stylish alternatives to traditional vehicles.
