As an EV driver, I think this is very nice. I just wonder where all this electrical power will come from. Put a dozen of these in a parking lot and that’s almost a quarter megawatt – not a negligible quantity. We’re gonna have to build a buttload of new power plants when everybody starts buying EVs.
Scott Parker solar will be a big part of it. the efficiency and methods are improving dramatically as it scales up and is more adopted in the mainstream vein: http://goo.gl/FK4nTX , http://wp.me/plpRp-1nrE , http://cleantechnica.com/?p=100859 . or at least i hope so as i’ve recently reserved my tesla model 3!
Solar will have to be in there, but that’s a whole lotta square meters of panels to deploy. Guess somebody will have a job for a good while.
Scott Parker Haha! Well yeah…there’s that. But they’re also very close to concentrating the efficiency of the panels we are used to into a much more micro-package. Now that people are taking it more seriously, there’s more money and research and development and the innovation is beginning to scale up. I have hope!!
