  Greening of Annapurna: Sun cars
 

As an institute involved in climate change research in the Himalaya, the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) uses solar thermal space heating in its office, recycles waste water and generates methane gas for its kitchen from canteen waste.

But what to do about its fleet of petrol and diesel vehicles ?








 
In 2009, ICIMOD bought three Reva-i electric cars so that it could at least partially replace its gas-guzzling SUVs for city runs from its Khumaltar office. But the daily 12-hour power cuts meant the Revas would have to be charged by diesel generator.

So, it also installed a 4.9 kW solar charging station with a battery bank that is topped up during the working day while the cars are charged overnight. Yet, with the monsoon season just around the corner, the small, two-seater vehicles run the risk of low power due to overcast skies. For this, there is also an option of charging from the grid.

“Whenever the car is free in the day, it is being charged. Also, if there is power left over from the battery bank, it can be used if there is insufficient solar power,” ICIMOD's Mohan Shrestha explains.

ICIMOD is now looking for larger electric cars, including buses, to replace its diesel vehicles. But for that, Shrestha says, the solar charging panels may also need to be upgraded.
