E-Cell City: Drive accross your city and never run out of battery power. Why ? Simply because you can charge your car whenever you make a stop. It doesn’t matter if you go shopping, stop for a meeting or having an appointment with your dental torturer.

There are exhibit concepts which look very simple. This one isn’t. We had to employ a route finding algorithm (A-Star). Something which analyzes over 200.000 possible positions within a network of streets and find a way within microseconds. Add some battery usage behaviour, charging stations and over 50 textflags reacting to the current state of the battery. Thanks to Heinrich for the Plugins and Tom (Glarestudios) for fixing the A-Class model.
