The momentum that electric vehicles are gaining within the automotive industry has provoked calls for funding for infrastructure and electric vehicle charging stations to support the growth of energy efficient cars.
With more and more electric vehicles being produced by car manufacturers, and more and more people opting to buy electric vehicles for their efficiency and non-polluting properties, the next step is to build support structures to keep them running on the road – electric vehicle charging stations.
The development of these support systems is vital if there is to be a large scale shift to electric vehicles.
Enter Electric Vehicle Charging Stations ARC
Here is where EV ARC is leading the pack. They are the first fully autonomous, completely mobile, and absolutely renewable electric vehicle charging stations. Envision Solar International, Inc. is the developer of this electric vehicle charging station.
They already have several completed units of the EV ARC ready for shipment to interested customers. These electric vehicle charging stations do not require trenching, or building permits. They don’t require any foundation or grid connection.
The concept and design of this electric vehicle fuelling station came from engineers of the ESII, in the United States. It is designed to fit a standard parking space and can generate around 16 Kilowatt-hours in one day – good for charging a standard 22 kilowatt-hour electric car battery.
You can easily install an assembly of this charging station in just minutes. It is also easy to dismantle if you need to move it some place where it is more convenient and accessible. This is the most painless way to provide electric vehicle charging stations to electric car owners, especially in very remote areas.
The development of plug-in-electric vehicles has accelerated the push for the deployment of electric vehicle supply equipment or EVSE. As a result, the market for EVSE is expected to increase from 2012’s figure of 200,000 installations to 3.8 million units in 2020.
By the year 2020, the Pike Research study projected that there will be a total of 11.4 million electric vehicle charging stations all over the world. That means more EVs will be on the road, therefore, cleaner air will result because of less pollution coming from gas guzzlers.
This projection is attainable since installing electric fuelling station does not present much challenge as that of conventional installations. Therefore, it is perfect for any interested party searching for a quick and no-hassle deployment of EV charging stations
The operation of this kind of charging station is also very efficient because its design is enhanced by EnvisionTrak. With this feature, the solar array of the charging station can constantly follow the sun. Thus, it can generate electricity 18 to 25 per cent more than what a conventional set-up can produce.
With their easy installation and set-up, and their ability to generate more power, these electric vehicle charging stations satisfy the main prerequisites for mass adoption. Coupled with the increase in sales of electric cars in the coming years, we can expect more companies around the world to deploy these charging stations in areas where they are much needed.
