At last, After so many decades feeling anger at the poor state of the roads in Latin America, our great moment has arrived. Yes, going through the wells will make us one of the regions with the highest energy production in the world, all thanks to this new invention that could change things for electric cars by generating electricity through the suspension of the vehicle.

Out of the regional jokethis new technology is real and is already being tested, being shown for the first time at SEMA 2022 and baptized as Roadkil 5000 by the company Gig Performance.
This development has ability to capture energy lost within the suspension system in the form of vibrations and redirect it back to the battery in electric cars. Alsothis device works as a shock absorber in itselfsince the electrical resistance inside the generator has that effect.
As if that were not enough, the Roadkil 5000 is extremely easy to connect and can be added to any vehicle, from a truck to an all-terrain vehicle, as long as it has a battery to connect to and be able to charge it with energy. It’s more, You can connect as many devices as there are axes to support them.
Gig Performance President and Co-Founder Jon Woodward said: “GIG Performance’s Roadkil 5000 helps keep vehicles powered up, especially electric ones, without needing to recharge, the path under your wheels channels power to batteries that boost your life. moving power.

It is worth noting that it is not necessary to go through potholes and speed bumps for this to work. Although the roads are in good condition, the suspension of the vehicles is always in constant movement, so that energy can be generated just by walking. It is clear that if the suspension works more when crossing bad roads, the energy production will be greater.
If this development works as advertised, it will probably become a standard for future electric vehicles in pursuit of increasing their range.
Let them come to try them in Mexico! (Here we understand well that of potholes)
