In order to boost its green car credentials, Mitsubishi Motors North America has launches a solar powered charging station at headquarters in Cypress, California.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to a press statement released by the company, the idea is to symbolize the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s commitment to electric vehicle readiness and kick off preparations as certified Mitsubishi dealers become EV-ready in anticipation of the scheduled launch date of Mitsubishi i for each state.<\/p>\n<p>The charging station is powered by 96, 175W photovoltaic modules from Mitsubishi Electric. It supports CHAdeMO compatible electric vehicles such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/i.mitsubishicars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mitsubishi i<\/a>, due out in November of this year. Mitsubishi is now taking pre-orders for the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The station\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s capabilities are quite impressive. It can charge up to four vehicles at once and features three types of chargers with different voltages: standard level 1 voltage (110v) will deliver a 100 percent charge in 22 hours on the new Mitsubishi i; level 2 (220v) which can charge the vehicle in six hours; and level 3 CHAdeMO Quick Charger, which can charge to 80 percent battery capacity in 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project will build awareness of solar power&#8217;s versatility and efficiency,&#8221; said Katsuya Takamiya, president and chief executive officer, Mitsubishi Electric &#038; Electronics USA. &#8220;As electric vehicles&#8217; popularity grows, we expect to see more charging stations at large employers, automobile dealerships, shopping centers and schools, where cars can charge while people work, shop or study.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Electric said its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/archives\/solar-energy-panels.htm\" target=\"_blank\">solar energy panels<\/a> are made with 100 percent lead-free solder, and have one of the higher sunlight-to-energy conversion ratios in the industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>You should follow us <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/energyrefuge\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts Found!
