Geoff Nesbitt, CEO of clean technology provider Verditek PLC, discusses the sustainability potential of renewable EV charging capability.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are going to define future transportation needs. To address their charging requirements, we have an opportunity to rethink the petrol station paradigm. Solar power, in the form of photovoltaics (PVs), offers an opportunity to implement renewable EV charging sustainably and with a low carbon footprint. The requirement will be large and persistent; and is likely to require a mix of solutions to be effective. PPAs, microgrids, lightweight PV panels and novel battery technology all have a role to play and help provide a comprehensive solution.
