Specific elements of the Urb&GO ecosystem include a battery electric vehicle (BEV) that is convertible between a driveable mode and a stowable mode where the height of the roof area of the vehicle is lowered when the vehicle is stowed. The stowable mode reduces the volume of the BEV allowing for the storage of more vehicles per cubic feet of storage or parking space. The infrastructure for the BEV includes various configurations for charging and storage facilities. The charging facilities may include wind turbines; solar polar of other renewable power. The proposed Urb&GO concept reduces traffic and congestion and eliminates exhaust fumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The “Park & Ride” idea can be used to allow people to use Urb&GO Vehicles to commute to the city. Customer and public ownership and leasing study options are possible with this concept.
