Electric vehicles (EVs) are being used to power people’s homes on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Part of Portugal’s Madeira archipelago, Porto Santo is using solar-powered EVs, according to a BBC report.
They are charged during the day, with unused energy returned to the grid at night.
The Portuguese island is not the only part of the world seeking to harness the potential of solar energy for EVs.
In India, Bharat Heavy Electricals is setting up a network of solar-based electric vehicle
Governor of Colorado Jared Polis has signed an executive order which outlines a suite of initiatives to support a transition to zero emission vehicles (ZEV) in the US state.
Polis says: “Our goal is to reach 100% renewable electricity by 2040 and embrace the green energy transition already underway economy-wide”
