July the 26th, 2024 – Excellent domestic innovation comes from the Zagreb-based company Bravarija Ivanić. Meet the Croatian SoltiQ, a mobile solar powered electric vehicle charger that is twice as strong as normal.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Tomislav Ivanić, the creator of the first mobile autonomous solar charging station in the EU and director of Bravarija Ivanić, stated that since the launch of their prototype in front of the business and investment community in February, their young engineers have managed to develop an almost twice as powerful mobile autonomous solar charger for electric vehicles.
“Today, the Croatian SoltiQ 2.0 can charge any electric vehicle with a power of 10kW, while we raised the maximum energy stored in the batteries to an enviable 57.6 kWh” revealed the ambitious Tomislav Ivanić.
With engineering upgrades and minor design changes, today, one full Croatian SoltiQ charger can charge 100% of the battery of an average E-car, i.e. 50 E-bikes or 20 E-scooters, in a mere hours. This gives it significant added value in the electric infrastructure market, which is still chronically lacking around the world.

“I’m proud of the Croatian brains and engineers who solved the biggest and most difficult global obstacle in the green transition, which is still the lack of charging stations and their related infrastructure. If such a challenge were to be overcome and efficiently solved, surely more and more drivers would think about buying electric vehicles and doing their part for sustainable energy.”
In addition to the charging power, there is also an AI camera that is responsible for the additional safety of the construction itself, as well as the sensors of the weather station that provide insight into the weather conditions etc.
The construction of the Croatian SoltiQ mobile solar charging station itself was designed to withstand wind gusts of 150 kilometres per hour and 50 kilograms of snow per square metre. It weighs around 2,000 kilograms, including all of its batteries and solar panels. When it comes to its actual installation, the only important thing is that the place where it will be installed has sunlight and is based on hard ground. It also needs to be the size of a standard parking space.
“Conquering foreign markets is now what lies ahead of us. We’re planning more innovation, as well as the attraction of new investments,” Tomislav Ivanić concluded.
