ABSTRACT
Eolia Highways is a structure that combines technology able to take advantage of solar energy, wind and currents generated by the passage of vehicles for their transformation into energy available for consumption. The successive implementation of these structures on roads located in suitable environments, allows the provision of charging points for electric vehicles. This new generation model provides a solution to the current service stations in view of their necessary reconversion due to the gradual introduction of the electric vehicle in the market.
