Nissan and 4R develop a new EV charging system

Nissan and 4R develop a new EV charging system

Just when you thought electric vehicles (EV) couldn't get any greener, Nissan and 4R have decided to come up with a way to make them rechargeable via renewable energy sources. The two companies have just announced that they've developed a charging system that combines a solar power generation system with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. Electricity is generated through solar cells that are installed at Nissan's Global Headquarters, and then stored in these high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. Each battery is said to be able to store enough energy to charge four Nissan LEAF cars.
