The solar-powered, green and white Beautiful Earth Group EV charging station, which once found its shipping container internals
filled with a Mini E, is no longer. Well, it's no longer where it was, anyway. It's now somewhere
completely different, a place that happens to be just down the road, a land known by many as Brooklyn. It's Brooklyn Bridge Park, specifically, and Better Earth has donated the thing to the facilities department there. It'll be used to charge up the service vehicles that patrol the place, apparently including a pair of
GEM and Toro Workman EVs that look like they
might have been Photoshopped into the promotional picture above. The presumably non-digitally-manipulated ones will all be recharged using the charging station's 24 solar cells, generating 5.6kW and, ultimately, saving the world. Or, at least, the Park.
