Toyota has developed a charging station for the batteries of hybrid vehicles (PHV - plug-in hybrid vehicles) and electric vehicles (EV - electric vehicles), which converts solar energy into electricity. Earlier it was reported that the network of filling stations for electric vehicles the company plans to build a McDonald's.
Thus, the municipal government of the city in the prefecture of Aichi Toyota reported that in the near future plans to build a charging station 21 in 11 places in the city. The stations will be installed near the municipal offices, railway stations and other public places. These stations will serve the 20 hybrid cars Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Work is expected to be completed by April 2010.
Each charging station contains a. photovoltaic solar panels. and energy storage system. The station is connected to power grid. Thus, the solar panel generates energy that is stored in the accumulator. Electric charge when you connect your own batteries from Battery Station. If the battery capacity is insufficient, then the electric car gets its power from conventional power supply. As a result of such a station can be used in any weather and at any time. At the same time when fully charged battery connected stations and the absence of electric vehicles, it can give energy to the network, acting as a conventional power plant. Power of solar panel, this charging station is 1.9 kW, and the battery capacity - 8.4 kWh.
