Driving on Sunshine: EV Charging Goes Green

By avoiding a connection with the grid, solar-powered EV chargers could prove more reliable and sustainable than current options. By Freddie Holmes

A common argument against the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) today is that unless charged with electricity generated by renewable energy, they are not really zero emissions. Many grids rely on coal or nuclear power, for example, meaning EVs may be zero tailpipe emissions but still carry a carbon footprint. In addition, the prospect of energy shortages and blackouts means EV charging could be impossible in certain situations. Could efforts around sustainable energy temper these concerns and further drive the adoption of EVs?
