The blackouts affecting Cuba during periods that can exceed 20 hours per day are forcing the population to find alternative solutions to maintain mobility and ensure access to electricity.
The Cuban population has been turning to electric tricycles as an alternative means of transportation during the long periods without power. This vehicle has become a practical option for those who need to get around when the streets are dark and public transportation doesn't work due to electricity cuts.
In addition to tricycles, citizens have also been installing improvised solar stations to try to meet basic energy needs in their homes. These homemade solutions include solar panels and batteries that allow charging essential devices when the national electrical grid fails completely.
The situation highlights the severe energy crisis that Cuba is experiencing, where prolonged blackouts have become part of daily life for the population, forcing citizens to develop survival strategies that depend on more sustainable and autonomous technologies.
