Solar-powered EV charging - Tonsley Innovation

Australia

Tonsley a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia has an Innovation District that’s getting an upgrade. The latest addition to the precinct is a set of 8 charging bays for electric vehicles.

This particular set of chargers draws power from a bank of solar panels which also help protect the vehicle when charging.

In the photos published by Jay Asper on the Electric Vehicles for Australia Facebook Group, it reveal at least 2x Tritium chargers, but given the installation isn’t yet complete, I suspect all 8 bays would have CCS and CHAdeMO charging options.
