Eco Factor: EV testing program to include solar-powered public charging stations.
The lack of proper infrastructure to accommodate electric vehicles has been a major hurdle in the global adoption of clean electric cars. To find solutions, Honda has revealed plans to test a solar-powered public EV charging station and conduct a range of tests on electric vehicles in real-world urban transportation environments.
The program will start in the Japanese cities of Saitama, Kumagaya and Chichibu, with the goal to achieve “Total Energy Management.” Including EVs, plug-in hybrid vehicles, the EV-neo electric scooter and the Monpal ML200 4-wheel electric cart, the program will also test the feasibility of a solar-powered electric vehicle charging station for public use.
