Well I for one hope it works! I have said from day one they should put chargers in every gas station. Then range anxiety would not be a thing and the infrastructure is mostly already there

Yeah I was one of the folks involved with BP going 'green' back in the late 90's. A fellow engineer and I designed a grid-tie inverter that BP decided to pick up for some of their gas stations. They were called "BP Connect" stations and they had solar on the fueling island roofs and inverters (Trace Engineering) on the posts holding up the roofs. There is a pretty good picture of the station at https://www.alamy.com/bp-petrol-station-with-solar-roof-brighton-uk-image236719.html We ended up selling a few hundred inverters to them before they cancelled the program. We were pretty excited that a dinosaur company could actually be switching, however tentatively, to renewables, and were pretty disappointed that they did not see the value in their offering. Now it looks like they are trying again. Too little too late, in my humble opinion Tim Economu On 9/17/2020 1:08 PM, [email protected] wrote: > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:36:43 -0700 > From: Jan Steinman<[email protected]> > To:[email protected] > Subject: Re: [EVDL] Big Oil's green makeover > Message-ID:<[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >> From: Mark Abramowitz<[email protected]> >> >> I would not call it a green makeover.
