Leveraging Parking Lot Solar Panels for EV Charging

Clean Fleet Report

Can Solar Panels Produce Enough Juice? It’s possible to construct off-grid charging stations, but they come with hassles, such as storing power when the sun doesn’t shine. Connecting to the grid allows businesses to sell back unused capacity, saving money and preventing wasting energy when surpluses occur. Retrofitting Woes.

The trials of public charging, part 2 (of many to come)

Plugs and Cars

Only half the story about public charging is providing juice: enabling drivers to extend the range of their vehicles beyond their night-time "fill-up" at home when necessary and overcoming newbie "range anxiety." A charge station appears at the grocery store you frequent. Juice flows. Take that every way it can be taken.

Lessons from a year with solar power

EV Info

For example the LEAF has a 24 KWh battery pack, and a full pack is good for around 100 miles. In March 2020 we installed 9 solar panels an inverter and 2 battery packs. Battery Pack: PylonTech Battery Storage . Having an EV you learn about the basics of electric power, charge rates and kilowatt-hours or KWh. .

Auto Racing Test Drives Its Own EV Future

Cars That Think

F1 doesn’t flatter the battery brigade. The cars feature recyclable batteries and bodies made from linen and recycled carbon fiber from last year’s cars. Enough energy, in fact, to carry 220 fewer kilograms of battery. Flip a switch, and the Porsche can spool up 1,073 horsepower—more juice than an F1 car—for roughly 18 minutes.

Greenlings: Benefits of charging stations vs. battery swaps vs. home charging

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities.
