IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

How To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint — And Why It’s Smart Business

EV Connect

And when you’re implementing clean alternative energy — such as using solar energy to power your EV charging stations — you can reduce costs (and your carbon footprint) even further. Much like bus depots have their own gas stations, you can reduce fuel costs for your fleet by owning the means to produce and distribute that fuel.
