Dubbed 'El-Assist,' which is Spanish for "the assist," this autonomous vehicle would ride around cities with overhanging power wires while recharging electric cars. Cities that use electric transportation in the form of streetcars or trolleys would benefit most from 'El-Assist.' The vehicle itself is intended to increase EV as well as carpooling. Check out 'El-Assist' in the featured gallery and be sure to read below to check out other cool conceptual and real-deal EV chargers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Autonomous Vehicle Charging:** El-Assist proposes an innovative solution for charging electric vehicles on the go using an autonomous vehicle with overhanging power wires. - **Increasing Electric Vehicle Adoption:** El-Assist aims to boost the adoption of electric vehicles by providing convenient charging options in cities with electric transportation systems like streetcars or trolleys. - **Promoting Carpooling:** The El-Assist vehicle not only charges electric cars but also encourages carpooling, promoting sustainable transportation solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure:** The development of autonomous charging solutions like El-Assist presents opportunities for innovation and growth in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure industry. - **Electric Transportation:** The use of El-Assist in cities with electric transportation systems opens up possibilities for advancements in the electric transportation industry. - **Sustainable Mobility Solutions:** El-Assist aligns with the growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions, creating potential for disruption in this industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-ev-charging-station.md) - [Vehicle-Matching Charger Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clair-electric-vehicle-charger.md) - [Street Lamp Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamppost-ev-charger.md) - [Mobile Car-Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-electric-charging-station.md) - [Parking Spot Vehicle Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watt-ev-charger.md) - [Automated EV Charging Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-recharging-robot.md) - [Wireless Robotic EV Charges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evbuddy.md) - [Miniature Pod-Like Electric Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autev.md) - [Compact EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-chargers.md)
