Maine collective leads charge with solar-powered car plug

FALMOUTH, MAINE — TideSmart Global, a collective of creative businesses focused primarily on experimential marketing, announced the completion of a first-of-its-kind solar-powered public electric vehicle charging station located on its Falmouth corporate campus. Starting Monday, TideSmart will open the charging station for public use, making it available to business neighbors (approximately 300 professional workers within a quarter mile in Falmouth), community members, friends and family. The 208-volt charging station, powered by solar panels, will charge a vehicle nearly eight times as fast as a standard outlet, providing convenient on-the-go service for an increasingly environmentally aware community. For example, the station can recharge the batteries of the Ford Focus Electric
