August 15, 2012 | By Barbara Vergetis Lundin

GE Energy Management and Urban Green Energy (UGE) will pioneer the world's first integrated wind-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station.

The system will be installed in Barcelona and integrates UGE's cutting-edge vertical wind turbines with GE's EV charging technology to offer completely clean energy to power electric vehicles.

The system delivers power through a GE DuraStation EV charger, which enables faster charging using higher voltages. GE is launching a family of EV charging systems in Europe to offer domestic and commercial users a range of easy-to-use, flexible systems to help make electric vehicles a practical, everyday reality.
