Inhabitat » Chicago Unveils First Solar Plug-in Charging Station

Get Feed

Description: Designed by Chicago-based Adrian Smith Gordon Gill Architecture, the station is located at the Department of Fleet Maintenance, and it will be used to power the city’s electric fleet. The setup is simple, taking the sun’s power, and turning it into electricity that can be easily accessed by plug-in vehicles.

Since one of the biggest issues with electric vehicles is their lack of infrastructure, these solar charging stations could offer the perfect solution to this issue. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if these could be deployed in any parking lot everywhere in the world?
