01 Apr 2025: Leapmotor has unveiled its latest innovation in electric vehicle charging technology by launching the Leap Mat charging device. Designed to provide car owners with the convenience of charging their vehicle anytime and anywhere, the Leap Mat is set to revolutionise the EV charging experience.
This innovative gadget will be available for purchase in early April, transforming motion into electrical energy, increasing charging accessibility and affordability. All Leapmotor vendors sell the Leap Mat, which includes a special mechanism that captures kinetic energy. Users only need to place the mat on the ground and then run, hop, skip, or leap on the spot to produce energy. The inbuilt CCS2 cable and socket are then used to feed this energy into the vehicle's battery.
With its foldable design, the Leap Mat can be easily stored in the vehicle’s boot, ensuring instant access to electricity in any off-grid location. Crafted from durable and weatherproof materials, the Leap Mat is available in a variety of colours.
One of the most notable features of this advanced accessory is its ability to generate electricity for free. In addition to being an eco-friendly charging solution, the Leap Mat also promotes personal wellness – owners can engage in a charging workout, gaining both health benefits and additional range for their vehicle.They can add more miles the longer they exercise.
In an official press release by Leapmotor, Paul Yorlegg, spokesperson at Leapmotor, stated, “The new Leap Mat is yet another example of our commitment to combining incredible value with the latest technology. Not only does this innovative device give owners the flexibility to plug-in and charge wherever they are, regardless of the day or night, it also helps them stay fit on the go. Taking the leap to own a Leapmotor doesn’t just mean enjoying value without compromise, it also means generating your own electricity”.
The Leap Mat is the first in a series of pioneering charging devices set to be released by Leapmotor. The company’s engineers are currently developing additional innovations, including a compact roof-mounted wind turbine, a solar panel paint finish, and electricity-generating treadmill-style floor mats for rear seat passengers.
With this groundbreaking approach to EV charging, Leapmotor continues to push the boundaries of sustainable and user-friendly energy solutions, further cementing its position as a leader in the electric vehicle industry. This innovative blend of mobility, fitness, and sustainability not only empowers drivers to charge on their own terms but also exemplifies Leapmotor’s mission to redefine the future of green technology. The Leap Mat is more than a product, it’s a leap forward in how we think about energy, exercise, and everyday driving.
