Electric vehicle (EV) usage might be encouraged, but have we really thought about the present infrastructure by offering relevant and very real facilities? While manufacturers expect you to charge up your EV in your carport each day, what happens when you are on a lengthy trip or run plenty of errands all through the day? Romag of UK has come up with the PowerPark, which is essentially a parking station with integrated solar cells, allowing one to charge up an EV no matter where they are. Originally installed at its UK-based headquarters, Romag has plans to do so in other parts around the UK, Middle East and Far East – hopefully there are suitable EVs to justify the cost of building these parking stations.
