With the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in electric vehicles hitting the road, demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company, has now demonstrated a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-in Station, which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.
The Solar Plug-in Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive, the solar-powered recharging station is part of the important infrastructure required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.
These solar-powered electricity points will be used daily by Chicago to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cells, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.
The Solar Plug-in Station consists of giant solar panels that shade the tiny Charge Point Networked Charging Station. The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack, ready for everyday refueling.
“Without these stations it would be like driving around traditional cars without the availability of gas stations, ”says Scott Emalfarb, CEO at Carbon Day Automotive, “The day of true plug-in electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be to accommodate them. ”

With the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in electric vehicles hitting the road, demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company, has now demonstrated a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-in Station, which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.
The Solar Plug-in Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive, the solar-powered recharging station is part of the important infrastructure required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.
These solar-powered electricity points will be used daily by Chicago to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cells, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.
The Solar Plug-in Station consists of giant solar panels that shade the tiny Charge Point Networked Charging Station. The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack, ready for everyday refueling.
“Without these stations it would be like driving around traditional cars without the availability of gas stations, ”says Scott Emalfarb, CEO at Carbon Day Automotive,“The day of true plug-in electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be to accommodate them. ”

Robot teachers—who never get
angry or make hard remarks—have
been a hit with pupils during a pilot
project in some South Korean schools,
a government report said Thursday.
Elementary school children responded favourably to the robot teachers, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said, citing a survey by educational researchers.
English-teaching robots were sent to three provincial schools for eight weeks starting in late December.
And programmable electronic devices resembling robots, which teach maths, science and art, were used in 10 Seoul schools for five weeks from November.
The researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise interest in the language and boosted the confidence of students.
“Tele-presence(远程呈现)”robots are controlled remotely by an English teacher and are equipped with a microphone and video camera. Autonomous units use voice recognition software to interact with children.
The government has expressed interest in robots to give rural school children more learning opportunities.
“The machines spurred creativity and had a positive influence on the attitude of students, ” a ministry official told Yonhap News Agency.
Officials in charge of the project are working to improve the quality of robot teaching and get rid of small problems before any decision to expand their use.
