随着电动汽车发展，它将需要更多电量驱动他们前行。当然，公用事业可以添加更多的发电机。但大多数是脏脏的，而且价格及贵。现在有了更好的主意：把停车场建设为城里的太阳能发电厂。

CAPTIONBy Envision表示：我们也想盖停车场，当我们去工作或购物商场时，可以防止自己的汽车成为太阳能集热器，停车场上空所有空间都基本上浪费了。其实世界各地有许多适合在屋顶覆盖太阳能电池板的地段，太阳光发电可以直接转化为电能补给停在该地段的电动车，也可将所发电力回流入网。
With electric vehicles on the horizon, it's going to take a lot more electricity generation to keep them charged. Sure, utilities could add more generators. But most are dirty, and they're expensive. Now comes one of the most obvious of ideas: turn parking lots into urban solar farms.

CAPTIONBy EnvisionWe all want covered parking when we go to the work or the mall to keep our cars from becoming solar collectors themselves. And all that asphalted space is essentially wasted. So the answer that seems to be popping up around the world is to cover the lots with a roof of solar panels, generating electricity from sunlight that can either go directly into an plug-in electric cars parked in the lot, or fed back into the grid.
