Embedded above is a cool YouTube video that spotlights what appears to be a relatively easy-to-install solar EV charging canopy designed by an Italian company, Giulio Barbieri, SPA.

The video runs you through the installation of this seemingly easy to put up solar EV charging station in about three minutes to the strains of some funky music in the background.

While the video above is a computer-generated animation, in fact, a second video weā€™ve embedded, this one below, shows that these Italian solar EV charging canopies arenā€™t just a simulation, but a reality.

Yes, the video below is in Swedish, but itā€™s actually kind of fun to watch, and itā€™s cool to see several Nissan LEAFs parked under this Italian designed solar EV charging canopy. Just as cool is the fact that — unless weā€™re mistaken and weā€™ll admit that weā€™re only fluent in English and German — these solar-charged LEAFs appear to part of a Swedish car-sharing set-up.

Great way to spread the sun miles, eh?
