Exploring Solar Charging Station Design for Electric Bicycles

Beth Ferguson

Institute of Transportation Studies, Working Paper Series from Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis

Abstract: Electric bicycle charging facilities that support active mobility and public transit connectivity can play a significant role in the global transition to low-carbon energy. Design of an electric bicycle solar charging station can combine solar technology, light transportation infrastructure, and civic place-making to provide the public an opportunity to recharge their mobile electronics, e-bikes, or e-scooters. The proposed station design reimagines public space by providing a shaded seating area during the day and a vibrant, LED-lit space at night. Four solar panels and a battery bank extend the station’s charging capacity into the night. The goal of this project is to serve as an off-grid energy power supply and environmental information center, with interactive displays of the solar station operation and an LED display of local air quality.
