Tucked away on the island of Värmdö, Sweden, sits one vision of sustainable living's future: a plug-in, off-grid cabin powered entirely by Hyundai's new electric IONIQ 5. The project, dubbed "Today’s Office," is a collaborative effort between Hyundai Sweden and Finland’s Studio Puisto Architects and aims to further expand on the possibilities of remote living in a (hopefully) near-off future where we're all driving around with reachargeable vehicles.
Key to the cabin design concept is the recently released Ioniq 5, the first model in Hyundai's new Electric Vehicle (EV) line. The car is available in two battery sizes, either 58,00 watts or 72,600 watts and features a 300-mile range, ultra-fast charging, and a vehicle-to-load function that allows the car to function as a power bank for charging larger devices and appliances. It's this mode that connects car to cabin, providing enough juice to make a week of off-grid living possible—that includes powwering WiFi, lights, heat, a sound system, TV, and more.
