Description
This car is the one case of a new energy system ‘OCE (One Common Energy)’. This system uses a same type of smart battery. It contains a battery, CPU, which has a customized user interface and a communication function. It can play a role of today’s engine, battery and other main control systems.
For example, at first they need to buy car and a smart battery. And when they need to buy another kind of car, they can purchase just the car without a smart battery. The price is cheaper then a normal car because that car doesn’t contain an engine or other main components.
