"The expandable Hyundai STARIA Camper Concept could recharge itself without plugging in using the built-in solar panel on the off-grid electric vehicle. Built into the roof, the panel can collect energy from the sun and produce electricity to help run a small refrigerator, a portable shower, and the temperature system to keep the cabin cool. Through this, the driving range of the off-grid electric camper could be extended by adding extra energy to the battery."
"Inside, the STARIA Camper Concept could look like a small living room. At the front, there are two large captain's chairs, which can turn around by themselves using electric controls. Once they are turned, the front and back of the cabin connect into one shared space where people can sit, talk, or relax together. At the back, the seats can fold flat with the push of a button, turning the cabin into a sleeping area for two people."
Hyundai's STARIA Camper Concept is an off-grid electric camper with an integrated roof solar panel to power appliances and supplement the battery. The panel can run a small refrigerator, a portable shower, and the cabin temperature system. Solar charging can extend driving range by adding energy to the battery. In optimal conditions the battery can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 20 minutes. The van uses a smooth, aerodynamic people-carrier shape and a power-operated pop-up roof for extra headroom. Interior features include swivel captain's chairs, fold-flat rear seats that convert to a two-person bed, and touchscreen-controlled smart glass for privacy.
