Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles

Zusatztext "As a community educator! I feel this book will serve as a guide to the basics of both electric vehicles and solar powered charging infrastructure for a variety of audiences. Communities interested in addressing air quality issues in their neighborhoods will find this an accessible! informative! and digestible sourcebook for understanding the current issues and solutions available." - Wendy Griswold! University of Memphis! Tennessee! USA"Larry E. Erikson! Jessica Robinson! Gary Brase! and Jackson Cutsor! authors of Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Development have provided a thoughtful foundation for readers to explore the role of electric vehicles and solar powered charging stations in our effort to address climate change through carbon emission reductions in our transportation and electric generating systems. This book discusses necessary policy and regulatory solutions to advance this important transition to a low carbon economy. I am thrilled to endorse this book! which will be utilized by the public! regulators and policy makers alike." - Dorothy Barnett! Climate + Energy Project! Hutchinson! Kansas! USA"The authors of this book take a detailed look at the nexus between abundant and increasingly cheaper solar energy! the emergence of affordable EV options! and the need for cost-effective ways to reduce carbon and other air emissions in urban areas. This book comes out at an important time when the cost of solar PV is finally on par with the cost of new forms of traditional power and EVs are on the cusp of becoming a significant form of personal transportation. May this book reach and inspire the young! the leaders and the doers throughout the country and the world." - Scott W. White! Cromwell Solar! Lawrence! Kansas! USA"This is a great read for anybody in the industries of energy! transportation! development! or anyone else who is interested in the where we are headed with the future of personal vehicles and renewable energy infrastructures. The concepts and facts are presented in such a way that this book can be enjoyed by the curious reader! or as a perfect starting point for the involved professional. For the information junkie like myself! once I picked it up! I couldn't put it down." -Jake Staab! Cromwell Solar! Lawrence! Kansas! USA Informationen zum Autor Larry E.
