Electric cars are clean, but solar-powered electric cars are much cleaner. For years, many electric car drivers have been charging up with solar power at home, but solar-powered charging away from home is a bit
“Electrify America has always been focused on driving sustainability forward, which extends beyond electric vehicles and charging and into the energy needed to power the EV revolution” said Rob Barrosa, vice president technology of Electrify America. “Our customers can feel proud that every charge they make on our network is backed by 100% renewable energy, and today’s groundbreaking of Solar Glow 1 showcases our future and represents our company’s values.
Indeed — Electrify America may have some struggles with station reliability in some locations, but one thing you can count on is a strong supply of clean, renewable electricity for your electric car. It gets 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources directly or indirectly.
Also, as we can see here, even though Electrify America has been buying renewable energy certificates or credits in order to be “100% powered by renewable energy,” it is working to get more of its electricity from specific solar projects it funds, like Solar Glow 1. I presume that the “1” is added on there because there will be a Solar Glow 2, Solar Glow 3, Solar Glow 4, etc.
Electrify America is also constantly rolling out new EV fast-charging stations. “Since installing the first station in May 2018, the network has opened an average of four stations per week,” the network notes. Electrify America alsoa couple of years ago, so that — like Tesla drivers — EV drivers could simply plug their EV into an Electrify America station and it would start pumping the car full of electricity.
In addition to all of the good work Electrify America is doing to cut emissions, provide clean electric-car charging, and improve convenience and reliability for EV road trips, it is also giving back to communities in California . The company has “invested over $5.7 million in more than 10 California community-based organizations to support EV education and access to low-income and disadvantaged communities, in addition to more than $13.5 million in educational marketing in the state to date.
