WATT Car Industries
WATT Car Industries Overview
WATT specializes in urban mobility solutions, offering a two-seater car platform designed for city driving. This platform prioritizes aspects such as safety, space efficiency, ride comfort, ease of parking, and aesthetics. It incorporates elements from different transportation modes to create a compact urban transportation option.
Given the expected global urbanization trend, with approximately 66% of the population projected to live in urban areas by 2050, WATT addresses the issue of underutilized cars, with an average occupancy rate of 1.2 persons per vehicle and vehicles remaining idle 96% of the time. WATT aims to align vehicle design with the evolving needs of urban living.
WATT Car Industries Climate Tech relevance
The shift to smaller, lighter vehicles like the WATT EV, compared to traditional 2-ton sedans, directly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction in several ways. By weighing approximately 500kg and requiring only a quarter of a sedan's parking space, the WATT EV embodies a significant decrease in material and energy used for transportation. Specifically, for every WATT EV replacing a traditional sedan, there's an estimated GHG reduction of about 3,000 pounds when compared to an all-electric sedan and approximately 10,000 pounds when compared to a gasoline-powered vehicle. This reduction is largely due to the decreased energy required to move the vehicle's significantly lighter weight, enhancing overall energy efficiency whether the source is electric or fossil fuel-based. These figures illustrate the potential for substantial GHG emissions savings, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts by reducing the carbon footprint associated with personal transportation.
