The Dakar rally, which is currently underway in Peru, 6th to 17th January 2019, is known and respected as one of the most challenging and toughest events in motorsport. Often the routes take in mountainous and rocky terrains combined with extreme heat and dry conditions in very remote locations. As such, all the crews require access to remote power, which has traditionally been supplied by diesel generator sets.

You wouldn’t expect a Granite City bar and grill to become a regional leader in alternative energy, but Eddie’s Lounge has done just that.

In a sign of things to come, California featured predominantly in May’s headlines with the news that it had set a new record for peak output of utility-scale solar at more than 10.5 GW. It also hit a new record for the instantaneous portion of demand met by renewable energy on April 28, at 73%, just 15 minutes before the solar record, with solar and wind alone meeting 64% of demand.

The Eco Explorer prices in at £24,995 (approx. US$32,625), and the Tribrid option adds another £2,000 ($2,600). The van can be exported to Continental Europe but only comes as a right-hand drive. Unfortunately, like so many other cool camper vans, Campervan Co vans are not currently available in North America. The company does mention plans of expanding its footprint there, however.

Meanwhile, in less positive news, in the United States announced it may slap an additional 25% tariff on Chinese cells and modules, via Section 301. Also in the country, a proposal by Xcel Energy saw the world’s largest li-ion battery and 707 MW pitched for Colorado. The plan featured a total of five solar power plants, three of which include energy storage.

It shouldn’t be surprising to learn that the first floating photovoltaic system was built in population-dense Japan in 2007, according to a report by the World Bank. The United States was an early adopter, with the first commercial installation atop a reservoir near a California winery in 2008. (Apparently, the vintner believed the land could be better used to grow more grapes for overpriced Merlot.) Of course, it didn’t take long for China to get into the act, finding yet another way to kick America’s ass in tech to become the leader in the floating solar PV industry.

Like most current-gen wireless chargers, the iOttie iON wireless charging stand delivers up to 10W of power for Samsung flagships. This charger comes with 2 coils, allowing you to place the phone in the landscape or portrait orientation. It also comes with a status indicator to let you know if the phone is properly charging or not. The stand is wrapped in a soft fabric and a variety of color options ensures that it won’t clash with the decor of the room. The iOttie iON wireless charging stand is priced at $44.95.

On the road, Toyota’s E-Four (Hybrid Synergy Drive) system creates electronic all-wheel drive, relying on the front-mounted 2.4-liter engine and electric motor tandem to power the front wheels during normal driving. When extra traction is needed, the system powers the rear wheels independently with the rear electric motor. The system can also use only electric power during low-speed urban driving. The powertrain offers an estimated 43 mpg UK, according to Campervan Co, and also gives the van more traction in slick winter weather and off-road driving conditions — not a bad combination for a camper van.

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, production, and marketing of photovoltaic products in the PeopleÂ’s Republic of China and internationally.

The company sells its products to distributors, project developers, and system integrators under the JinkoSolar brand, as well as on an original equipment manufacturer basis. JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. was founded in 2006 and is based in Shangrao, the PeopleÂ’s Republic of China.

Arsenal hosts a number of sustainability initiatives, like in 2017 when it planted 2,000 trees in 50 schools in partnership with Octopus Energy. It also plans to plant 500 trees at its Colney training ground in London. Lloyd is keen to stress, however, that the battery is not just some sort of public relations play.
