Architectural Technologist – Prefab Solar-EV Charging Station Sprouts in Silicon Valley

I found this article on Wired mag web site and loved it, its the very essence I am looking for, a country thats blessed with almost constant sun coverage, using PV to its best. Basicaly its a  pre-engineered solar panel installed  on the streets of San Jose, California, ready to charge any EV with instant, sustainable power.

The installation marks the first time SunPods’ SP-300 EV Plug-N-Go portable charging station for solar-electric cars has been put to a real-world test. Aside from needing an electrician to make the electrical connections, the technology is literally plug-and-play. After it’s delivered from the factory to the site, it can be set up with no assembly required — perfect for the parking lot of a traveling Shepard Fairey exhibit.
