The Pininfarina B0 Concept

The Pininfarina B0 Concept


Pininfarina and French battery maker Bollore’ have revealed a collective concept they call the B0.  The Pininfarina B0 is an all-electric city car with a unique approach to charging and storing electricity.  Instead of a standard battery, the B0 features a hybrid system that includes a bank of supercapacitors.  These don’t store as much energy as a battery, but they do charge much quicker.  That allows the B0 to generate more serviceable electricity while it drives- from regenerative breaking and from the included solar panels on the roof and grille.  In a single charge, the Pininfarina B0 has a range of about 153 miles and a top speed of 80mph.  We’ll let you decide what you think about the design- but the technology itself is nothing less than lustworthy.
