The worldwide acceptance of EV’s (Electric Vehicles) is mainly hurdled by the lack of proper set up and infrastructure to fuel/charge the electric vehicles. Honda has exposed plans, as a part of finding the solution, 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 plan is going to be tested in Japanese cities of Saitama, Kumagaya and Chichibu, with the goal to achieve “Total Energy Management”. Including EVs, plug-in hybrid vehicles, 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.
