The Great Company of Elon Musk, Tesla, Has Opened in the Tibetan City of Lhasa, China, Its First Station That Uses Only Solar Energy to Charge Electric Cars

The electric car company, Tesla, has opened its first Supercharger station in China that uses solar energy panels for 100% sustainable charging. The new charging station is the first in the world and stands out for collecting over 3,000 hours of sunlight per year.

The First Complete Charging Station of Tesla

The station that uses solar energy is located in the Tibetan city of Lhasa, and according to an announcement from Tesla, the choice of location was due to the abundance of sunlight in this mountainous area.

Although China is the second-largest market for the electric car company, this is the first complete charging station of Tesla that has independent solar energy storage.

The Beginning of a Green Journey

The solar energy panels, which were installed on the roof of the electric car charging station, collect sunlight, which is stored through accumulators and then finally made available to Tesla Superchargers.

Elon Musk’s company also announced that the solar energy system for the electric car charging station will be able to collect around 3,000 hours of sunlight annually. In one of the two posts made by Tesla after the inauguration of the sustainable charging station, the CEO stated that the system makes efficient use of the gifts of the Sun and nature.

“The constant flow of solar energy has been fully utilized to establish an ecological chain from use to storage,” stated the electric car company. The goal, according to the second post, is to “begin a green journey.”

Tesla Stands Out in the Solar Energy Market

The electric car company became interested in solar energy in mid-2016. To enter the market, Tesla purchased Solar City, a California company, for about US$ 2.6 billion, and currently, the company is part of Tesla Energy. Shortly after this acquisition, the automaker announced it aims to further evolve in the renewable energy sector.

In this area, the electric company produces and installs photovoltaic solar energy panels and also Powerwall energy storage devices, which store the energy produced by the sun for powering homes and charging electric cars.

Last year (2020), Elon Musk’s automaker made the decision to develop its business in the solar energy sector in China and announced the hiring of leadership to open a Solar Roof office in the country.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

New images captured by the James Webb Telescope show a star in its final phase in the Tc 1 nebula 10,000 light-years away.

Amazon just lost a legal battle in Brazil that could completely change the way you buy cell phones online, and the reason involves a risk that most consumers don’t even know they are facing right now.

WhatsApp will stop working on a huge list of cell phones in Brazil and the date is already set, but what few people know is that your device may be on this list and you haven’t even received the notice yet.

Scientists identify 3,100 glaciers capable of triggering sudden advances, and global warming makes avalanches, floods, and river blockages more unpredictable, with 81 ice masses already identified as a direct threat to communities and infrastructure in regions like Karakoram and the Arctic

For the first time in history, scientists claim that Africa is splitting in two, and the Earth’s crust in Kenya and Ethiopia has thinned to 12.7 km, crossing the point of no return.

US engineers create “road in a lab” to test giant trucks weighing up to 82,000 pounds without leaving the building, accelerating the validation of engines, fuels, and automation for Class 3 to 8 vehicles, and promising to cut time, cost, and risk in freight transport.

The world’s first car carrier for 10,800 vehicles is delivered in China, breaking a global record with 14 decks and over 50 km of vehicles lined up, and reinforcing the shipbuilding industry’s race for greener and high-tech automotive transport.

While in Brazil the Transnordestina has been waiting for 67 years, China began drilling 29 tunnels through the mountains of Central Asia to build the first railway connecting three countries — it’s 523 km, US$ 4.7 billion, and 5,000 workers cutting rock at 3,000 meters of altitude

India is paving 1,350 kilometers of road with 8 lanes to connect its two largest cities — the drive between Delhi and Mumbai will be reduced from 24 hours to 12, and 929 kilometers are already completed.
