Solar Tree that Doubles as an EV Charger Going Up at GM Site

Clean Technica

Envision Solar International announced on Thursday that one of its Tracking Solar Trees®, which includes a SunChargeâ„¢ electric vehicle charging station as its trunk, will be going up at GM’s Milford Proving Ground.

The company writes: “The patent pending, dual synchronous solar tracking system gives the array the ability to capture 25 percent more solar power than a conventional fixed solar canopy. The structure will produce up to 30,000 kilowatt hours a year and provide enough solar energy to charge six electric vehicles per day.”

This is actually the second solar tree installed at a GM site. (Notably, GM has taken a pretty strong stand on climate change of late, even dumping the Heartland Institute for its absurd approach to this important issue.)
