Recently, foreign media reported that electric America, an auto subsidiary, will invest 2 million US dollars (about 13.98 million yuan) to build 30 off grid solar energy in rural areas of California. Electric America, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, recently announced that it will invest in 30 off grid solar charging stations in rural areas of California, with a total cost of about 2 million US dollars (about 13.98 million yuan). When the off grid solar charging station is completed, it will solve the problem of charging cars in some rural areas of the state. The off grid solar charging station is manufactured by envision solar, which is headquartered in Santiago, the capital of Chile. The solar mobile charging station named EV arc is not connected to the local power grid. It only relies on the tracking solar array with a power of 4.28kw to generate electricity, equipped with a capacity of 32kwh storage battery and two AC chargers with a charging power of 6kW. The advantage of the charging station is that it can be built as long as the location is suitable, and it is not limited by the load of the local power grid; the disadvantage is that it can only provide slow charging mode, and the charging time is long. According to the official data of envision solar, the power station has been deployed in 16 states and 82 cities in three other countries or regions in the United States.
