Eco Factor: Solar energy generating flowers installed by Toyota.
Auto manufacturers do everything they can to promote their newest vehicles. While most manufacturers rely on ingenious adverts, Toyota has taken the upcoming launch of the Prius to the streets, by installed oversized solar-energy generating flowers in Boston. The installed will be installed in different parts of the world over a period of four months.
The company has installed five solar-powered flower charging stations, which will provide free solar charging to residents and also offer free Wi-Fi service. The stations can seat 10 people at a time. The flowers carry solar panels on their petals and at the base of the stem, the electricity generated is offered on a molded plastic green bench with 110V outlets.
