Solar Powered EV Charging comes to Connecticut

Solar Powered EV Charging comes to Connecticut

The switch was turned on this week at Connecticut's first Solar Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Station.  Typically you would expect such first mover status would go to a municipality looking to make a 'green' statement or an active EV owner who supports the environment.  But in this case, you'd be wrong on both counts.

Westport’s first electric vehicle charging station, powered by the rays of the sun, is the result of private capital invested by a local businessman who does not own an Electric Vehicle.  As David Friezo contemplated improvements to his building at 495 Post Road East in Westport, he looked to the sun for cost saving energy solutions.

No doubt you've heard the ads touting "donate your car for charity".  Frequently these ads are aired by people in the wholesale car business who are looking for inexpensive vehicles.  They help facilitate a donation where you sign your title over to a non-profit organization in exchange for a tax-deductible receipt for the value of the car, while the wholesaler takes the car and sells it returning, in most cases, the majority of the proceeds to the non-profit.  In the end, it is always SMART to know exactly what happens to your donated vehicle.
