Cool stuff in the new Apple parking garage

chargingstationNow that I think about it, this is Apple’s first garage in the 15 years I’ve worked here. Well to demonstrate its commitment to being a greener corporation, the garage has recharging stations capable of servicing four electric cars; two per vehicle. Cue the Libertarian Randroids and their anti-Environmental allies with, “These cars aren’t green because the electricity they receive is generated by dirty sources.” In Texas it would be nuclear and coal power. They would be correct except the garage has a huge series of solar panels on it to provide the juice first. HA!

On the day I took the picture, there was a Leaf, Fusion and Volt parked at the stations. Sometimes you can see a Tesla Roadster.

How I wish my Prius C could leverage a tad off these things to extend its range. Give it more time.
