Sun Rises on Singapore's First Solar EV Charging Station

Singapore has started its first electric vehicle charging station, situated at the Singapore Polytechnic Institute it uses solar power to build up charge to transfer to EV cars.

The stand alone off-grid solar charging station traps sunlight using four roof mounted panels, generating an average of of 3.15 kWh a day, or four electric scooters a day.

This new solar based EV charge site is part of the existing Greenlots program which are located at IKEA branches in Tampines and Alexandra Road, and the Insead campus, which tap into the main power grid for charging.
