The Honda Mobile Power Pack stores surplus electricity generated from renewable natural energy sources. It is then used on a shared platform, allowing it to be utilized in various ways for powering electric vehicles or electronic products. The Power Pack Exchanger concept works as a charging station for batteries. The Exchanger Concept can also be linked together to power larger scale platforms like electric vehicles. The Power Pack comes in both indoor and outdoor versions.
