Launch of solar-powered electronic parking discs
Overview
Lescars has introduced an electronic, solar-powered parking disc designed to automate the recording of arrival times. The device uses a three-axis gyroscope and a vibration sensor to set the arrival time approximately 20 seconds after a vehicle stops.
To maintain power, the disc utilizes integrated solar cells, though it also supports USB-C charging for use in dark environments. The product features magnetic attachments for use across different vehicles and includes displays for viewing and adjusting time. Users can select between displaying precise times or rounding up to the nearest 15 or 30 minutes.
These devices have received ECE approval and official authorization from the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, ensuring they are legally compliant for road traffic use. Some models are reported to have battery lifespans of up to five years due to the solar integration.
