The electric fuelling station of the future competition
Конкурсантам предлагается позаботиться о людях, путешествующих на электромобилях. Необходимо спроектировать заправку, где можно будет не только зарядить машину, но и набраться сил, с удовольствием провести время ожидания (каждая подзарядка занимает около 20 минут, поэтому дальние поездки на таких автомобилях считаются неудобными).

How do we recharge not just our cars, but also ourselves at the pause point in a journey?
This design competition asks architects, landscape architects, engineers, designers and cross-disciplinary practitioners to reimagine the highway gas station of today as an entirely new Canadian roadside oasis for electric vehicles, where travellers can rest, play, eat, refuel and more. Unlike city driving, longer road trips create range anxiety in non-EV owners, representing a barrier to adoption. To accelerate the transition to
a low-carbon future, we want to show drivers the positive possibilities and innovative benefits of the EV lifestyle. Our international, award-winning jury is looking for inspiring, boundary-breaking work that will help reinvigorate the built environment along Canada’s transit and tourism corridors to serve as a blueprint for the future.
Our hope is that this competition will spark a holistic rethinking of the refuelling experience and explore the opportunities presented by the electrification of our infrastructure.
“A key area of misunderstanding is that electric cars are inconvenient on long trips because they can take 20 minutes or more to recharge. EV drivers know that these planned charging stops often enhance their journeys, rather than diminish them.”
