A collection of EV's spotted on my commutes in the past month or so.

Could you write a paragraph or so on the charging station at minute 3:55?  Do they track the sun?

[Crissa]

Oh, a splitter!  I hadn't thought of doing that.  Maybe I should mix a splitter into my kit?

The solar charging station is at our local Credit Union (free for customers and members, but nobody has ever checked).

They do track the sun and they have either a 22.5 or a 30 kWh battery. So even stopping at night there is a good chance for some charge as there is no utility connection.   (Location also has some clipper creek stations I've never needed to try). I am not sure of the charge rate.

They are not cheap, about mid 5 figures. But are suited for locations where getting utility power would be costly or overly time consuming.

I want to see one with a hydro driven unit by bigger creeks and rivers.  That's always on and always something pretty to look at.
