Development of solar charging system for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles

Abstract

In January 2009, Toyota City was chosen as Eco-Model City for the realization of low-carbon society. As a transport initiative for an Eco-Model City, Toyota City has installed charging facilities that utilize solar energy in order to promote the usage of eco-cars such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The new solar charging system for Toyota City that combines the solar power storage unit with commercial electricity has been developed.
