\nFor quite a while now, we\u2019ve been waving the solar-EV-charger<\/a> flag. This seems to be the best way to turn cars into zero-emissions modes of transport. Sure electric cars<\/a> are clean and don\u2019t spout out carbons. However, charging them up does indirectly lead to pollution, given that most grids have coal and oil fired power plants pumping juice. Newbie SolarCity with a $280 million investment poured in by Google has on offer solar EV chargers<\/a>, aimed to turn EVs around the United States and the world at large, truly carbon-neutral. The Level 2 (240 volt) ClipperCreek charger costs $1,500 installed while solar cells that charge it up costs about $50 a month.<\/p>\n
\nNow a $50 dollar-a-month fee seems pretty inexpensive, since an average driver spends about $230 a month on gasoline! And all in all, this sure is a win-win way situation, benefiting the environment, and yourself!
