The company that launched them is PowerStation, which is making the charging sessions at the new station free until the end of May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">The four charging ports are CCS, and there are six more fast chargers planned for this summer which will have NACS ports. The charging station has 1,080 solar panels to generate clean, renewable electricity and battery storage to store excess electricity to provide charges at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">One EV driver said he was able to charge at 170 kW. The CCS chargers have a peak of 360 kW, but not all EVs can charge at such a high rate. The NACS chargers coming in summer will be much faster than 360 kW. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">The new charging station is located close to I-15 and is open 24\/7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">It must be stated that EV chargers can be operated using clean, renewable electricity. Gas pumps at gas stations can only use dirty, toxic fuels that will never be clean or renewable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Tested a Fully Off-Grid Solar EV Fast Charger in California! #offgrid #solar #energy #evcharging\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/32UfSOpiF4A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video comments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">\u201cSo cool, I live in Vegas and travel to LA often, would be very cool to charge my Rivian with solar on the way.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400 ,\">\u201cI charge my e-moped with a solar panel.

More fossil fuels is the harm, not the solution, and the online trolls, critics and haters never have any solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"afterpost\">\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cleantechnica.substack.com\/subscribe\" target=\"_blank\">CleanTechnica&#8217;s Weekly Substack for Zach and Scott&#8217;s in-depth analyses and high level summaries<\/a>, sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/cleantechnica\/daily-newsletter\">our daily newsletter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqLQgKIidDQklTRndnTWFoTUtFV05zWldGdWRHVmphRzVwWTJFdVkyOXRLQUFQAQ\">follow us on Google News<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><center><bold>Advertisement<\/bold><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><!-- CT new after-post --><\/p>\n<p><\/center>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Have a tip for CleanTechnica?
