As buyers embrace EVs, can the power grid cope? One company may have found a solution. ElectricVehicle CarGuidePH
Food for thought: more than 60 percent of the electric grid is powered by burning dirty fossil fuels. Using that dirty grid to charge electric vehicles only adds pollution and greenhouses to the air everyone breathes. Thus, in order to maximize the benefits of switching over to EVs for a pollution-free future, even the charging methods must be taken into account.
Moreover, it’s calculated that the grid load of a single grid-connected DC fast charger is equal to the electrical consumption of 50 homes during the charging period. Multiply that with the number of EVs hitting the road in the next couple of years, it will certainly cause a surge and wreak havoc on the energy infrastructure.
One solution that’s being proposed is this wind and solar tower . It generates 61.5 kW of pollution-free electricity per operating hour for EV chargers. This is made possible by the world’s only charger powered by a combination of wind and sun. Because they don’t need a grid connection to work, they can be installed in rural or remote locations. An integral one-megawatt battery storage unit is also available to store energy at night.
