Our neighbor, less than three hours to the south, is a tourist destination for over 3 million visitors a year. People flock to Yellowstone National Park to see hosts of megafauna rare elsewhere, but abundant here.
The chance to see herds of roving buffalo and packs of wolves draw crowds in, but while they are there, city-slickers also have a chance to learn an appreciation for the natural world, and conservation.
One such visitor education center is the Lamar Buffalo Ranch. However, for the Lamar Buffalo Ranch to be an effective education center, it would be nice to have a little electricity. This location is way too far off the grid for any commercial power provider to reach them, so Toyota helps them get a little creative.
Using 208 repurposed batteries collected from Toyota Camry Hybrids, Toyota was able to build a system to store electricity generated by solar panels to power the ranch day and night.
Are you in the market for a new battery? Stop in to Lithia Toyota of Billings to make a service appointment.
