First Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Station Is In Chicago

Move over Portland. Or San Francisco: Chicago opens the country's first solar-powered electric vehicle charging station.

We may be annoyned by our neighbors to the south, with their Cubbies and toll-roads, but their Mayor Daley takes his environmentalism seriously and Chicago - - with a fleet of electric vehicles that will use the station - - keeps raising the bar for the rest of us.
