The electric car may still be in its infancy, but that hasn't stopped Roberto Dei Lidi from designing the Smart Tower anyways. This eco-tower is designed to sustainably house rows and rows of electric cars.
Electric cars with short ranges work best in urban environments. There isn't a lot of space in urban environments however, which is why the Smart Tower makes so much sense. By building up, the tower increases in the number of cars it can hold, thus increasing the number of people who will swap their gas guzzlers for electric autos.
