Over 20 years off grid with solar and they laughed at us when I started. I charge my Ebike everyday from free solar power. No gas, no registration and no insurance needed!
But they are only Level 2 (J1772 connector) charging. This is NOT DC Fast Charging. So charging will be around 8-10 hours for 100% full charge. But I typically only charge up to 80%
Once again, the city of LA is doing something stupid. These things are only good for overnight charging. It will take ages to charge during the day. With 75k they could get a full on system with much better return on electricity.
@markhernandez5760 These are not connected to the grid and they have regular plugs. So people will be running their extension cords to your house to charge their refrigerators.
So it’s just a fancy shell for a batteries and inverters? Still just an AC charger running on batteries and inverter. This isn’t new, you can do all that with off the shelf components at home.
@@rversocal8889 you can do that with plain old mild steel racks on concrete. They act like this is innovative and new, it’s just a complete package of existing technology.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy, so taxpayers get to subsidize charging stations that would take two days to charge. One more battery to go bad that needs child labor to mine the components needed. That battery will cost about $25,000 when it goes bad!
What's your point. Same logic applies to gasoline and crude oil. There is no SAFE/AFFORDABLE fuel options in the world unless someone figures out how to install a steam engine inside a passenger car.
Businesses pay for the charging stations and people pay to recharge. When your power goes out what do you do. Run a dangerous gas generator or sit in the dark? Gas cars need much more costly repairs than an EV.
@@davediamond9436given it was way back in the day, you're probably right with this comparison. But I would still guess that the batteries today rely more on CHILD LABOR than steam locomotives did in the past. I guess we'll find out in 20 years or so how bad inhaling cobalt is for children.
This is being reported as a success, but they are greatly underperforming. Very slow to charge and could not keep up with multiple charges without a significant recovery period. Some have called it a scam.
They passed right over the charger speeds
Can I put this in my driveway? So I don't have to pay extra on my electric bill to charge my EV.
You can put solar panels on your house for less money and get the same result

yeah but 20 years ago, solar panel is 20x the cost of today panel and less efficient?

Awesome 😎
How much ??!
Love it
And 7 hours of charging
nice

Charge it at home,mall, library , parks and grandma house
How about just installing battery exchange stations where you leave the uncharged battery exchanged for a Full charge battery ...💡🤦♀️
This is a super expensive solar canopy.
$75k / 6000watts = $12.5 per watt
Traditional solar canopies cost closer to $3/w, all in (no subsidies)
Greeenieeeeeeeess!!!!
Gonna be fun when we have those rolling blackouts then what are you going to do?

genius, you missed the story altogether...it is powered by the sun

@@Deveak don’t forget the solar panels and the fact that high winds won’t drag it halfway down the block or into your neighbors new tesla.

Nice scam
Some fossil fuel companies had to make the parts for the installation so it still isn’t green

snivel and whine louder ...
@@ejicon3099 steam cars also used a fuel to heat the boiler to create the steam...trains used coal...cars used gasoline or kerosene
