Dezeen promotion: British set designer Es Devlin has erected a solar-powered pavilion, containing films made at 12 locations in Cape Town, to show people the potential of electric mobility. 
Commissioned by Mercedes-Benz South Africa and managed by Design Indaba, Devlin created the public Zoetrope pavilion as an example of how future electric car charging stations may appear.
The pavilion contains an interactive installation that aims to offer a glimpse into the impact that electric travel could have on our environment and behaviour in the future.

Located on Silo Square alongside Thomas Heatherwick-designed the Zeitz MOCAA art gallery, the Zoetrope pavilion was designed by Devlin, a speaker at last year?s Design Indaba. This year's edition of Design Indaba, which will be taking place from 27 February to 1 March. It uses solar power and Mercedes-Benz's branded electric intelligence (EQ) technology to visualise a future global network of solar-powered structures, specific to their locations, which would act as interactive charging stations for electric vehicle drivers.

"Rapid advances in lithium battery technology are extending the periods of travel and diminishing the durations of charging stops at an exponential rate," said Devlin.
"How should we approach the network of electric vehicle charging stations that is set to emerge all over the globe" How should we spend our time while we wait for our electric vehicles to recharge mid journey",&qu...
