---------------------------------------------------------------------
SHANGHAI, China - General Motors China has completed the installation of
the first Sunlogics GreenZone(R) Solar Charging Station at its Shanghai
headquarters. Sunlogics, a GM Ventures equity partner, created the
GreenZone to be installed at GM's various facilities and dealerships around
the world to support the introduction of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range
electric vehicle and prepare for future EV vehicle programs. The
GreenZone(R) provides a unique opportunity to charge electric vehicles
using a pure renewable energy source, the sun.
'The installation of the GreenZone solar charging station at our GM China
headquarters proves our commitment to help develop an electric vehicle
charging infrastructure in the Chinese market,' said Ray Bierzynski,
executive director of electrification strategy for GM China. 'GM will
continue to play a vital role working with major infrastructure suppliers
and electrical utilities to provide convenient, reliable charging solutions
for our EV owners now and well into the future.'
The GreenZone(R)Solar Charging Station installed at GM's China headquarters
has a rated power output of 10 kW, which is enough to fully recharge up to
six Chevrolet Volts each day. The GreenZone installation was completed by
China Triumph International Engineering Company, the Sunlogics'
Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor for GM projects.
General Motors and Sunlogics signed a Master Agreement on July 28, 2011,
outlining a $7.5 million equity investment in Sunlogics PLC by General
Motors Ventures LLC, giving Sunlogics the ability to develop the
GreenZoneSolar Charging Station and larger scale commercial solar projects.
'The Sunlogics GreenZone(R)Solar Charging Station captures energy from the
sun and transforms it into clean, green renewable power, which is added to
the grid, offsetting electricity used to charge electric vehicles. The GM
China Shanghai installation is the first of its kind in China,' says
Charles Bryant, Sunlogics Interim Chief Executive Officer.
