Electric vehicles have the potential to greatly reduce both local air pollution, given that they have zero tailpipe emissions, and lower regional and global greenhouse gas emissions, due to their non-reliance on burning fossil fuels. However, only by connecting renewable energy sources to charging stations can electric vehicles truly be zero emissions transportation, and although we're starting to see a lot more charging stations popping up along roads and parking lots, solar chargers are still in their infancy. Brightfield's Solar Driven charging stations are made up of the company's Charging Bollards, each of which can accommodate up to three Level 2 EV chargers, which hold up the solar canopy that is covered with panels. The stations are said to be the only electric vehicle charging station developer with a patented grid-connected system for integrating generation, storage and delivery of solar power to automobiles.
