A complete smelvee.HUB in the default configuration (i.e. 12 x smelvee.BOX + 3 x smelvee.STAND) takes up approximately the same area as one and a half spaces of a longitudinal parking space for a car. A paved surface (paving, asphalt, concrete) is required for its placement; for temporary placement it is not necessarily necessary to anchor the assembly to the substrate, however, for permanent placement and better security it is advisable to provide anchor bolts. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide an electrical connection, unless the assembly is a smelvee.HUB equipped with a sufficiently sized photovoltaic power plant together with batteries, which can also be operated independently of the electrical connection.

Scooters or other devices stored in smelvee.BOX are locked with an electronic lock with opening detection, smelvee.STAND offers an electronically lockable box together with an electronically monitored loop serving as a “lock” for the scooter placed in the stand. The area in front of the smelvee.BOX and the area in front of the smelvee.STAND are also continuously monitored by a recording camera. All information is transmitted to the headquarters, and in case of a disturbance, the owner of the electric vehicle is immediately informed in addition to the operator.

The price for those interested in investing in their own smelvee.HUB will be determined after the pilot operation is completed and the HUB is put into series production. However, there are other ways to use the system and smelvee.HUB within your company, institution or home – normal operation with pay-per-use services or rental on a flat-rate basis.
