How can the battery-powered trolley 2.0 travel from Arnhem to Ede or Nijmegen, for example, without any interim stops to recharge the battery? Mechanical and Electrical and Electronic Engineering students are racking their brains about that.

In the Mobility Innovation Centre (MIC) at IPKW, Kasper van der Zee (20), Thomas Randwijk (19), Bjorn Janssen (20) and Stef Toonen (19) are working on their idea.

They know that the battery of the trolley 2.0 can be charged within 5 minutes by using a quick charger. But these fast chargers are not everywhere yet. In fact, there are hardly any quick chargers at all. So how do you make sure that the e-bus always leaves Arnhem with a full battery, on its way to surrounding towns without overhead wires?
