Upcycled steel shipping containers holding battery packs converted into Solar Powered Charging Station

Brookyln Bridge Park is upcycling steel shipping containers containing battery packs that have been converted into a Solar Powered Charging Station to power its electric service vehicles, which were purchased versus over gasoline-powered vehicles as per the park’s dedication to sustainability.

The station will also save the park $200,000 in gasoline costs, as well as prevent 530 tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would have been a bi-product of gasoline powered maintenance vehicles
