Stellantis is testing wireless power transfer tech that might—if you happen to be on a special test track—render charging stops obsolete.

Grid, transportation, and decision-making components help reconcile where the most effective location might be. Will it help site charging stations more effectively?

This is part of a federal plan to install 500,000 chargers by 2030, with initial funding toward that from the recent infrastructure law.

EVs get cleaner along with the grid, and the EIA expects the grid mix to lean more toward renewable sources like wind and solar over the next few months.

Of 181 DC fast-charging sites surveyed, 72.5% were found to be functional, which is much lower than the 95% to 98% uptime reported by charging networks.

The system is intended for home use and can harness emergency backup power from hybrids, PHEVs, or EVs and help manage solar.

In another company-sponsored survey, the tech firm aiming to broaden the use of wireless charging says that Americans want it—although cost remains a question.

Property owners who drive EVs can request that the city install a publicly owned L2 charger streetside, with a flat fee of $0.20 or more per kwh for use.

A GM patent filing points to a potential future setup that could charge at 800V with one port, at 400V with two ports simultaneously, or charging on one while connecting a load to the other.

The EV charging network is committing to buy enough renewable energy to offset its use and create new solar generation.

Hundreds of residential and commercial customers will now be eligible to see how EVs might provide backup power during outages or help stabilize the grid.

You'll get consistent road-trip fast-charging in about a half-hour with 150-kw CCS hardware—most of the time not much slower than the finicky performance on 350-kw hardware.

Electrify America dispensed 41.4 gigawatt-hours of electricity in 2021, which the company said powered 145 million miles of EV driving and offset 5.7 million gallons of gasoline.

The $3,895 system includes inverter, disconnect switch, and a battery pack (yet unspecified) to allow the functionality, but owners will need an extra-cost installation plus the Ford Charge Station Pro.

Tesla and Kia have decided to make the AC mobile charger cable optional on their vehicles at extra cost. Does this make sense?

A California-centered DOE partnership seeks to bring stakeholders together for V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) tech that could provide backup power and support more renewable energy.

VW is aiming for 200-kw charging, a maximum range of 435 miles (WLTP), and 0-62 mph acceleration of 5.5 seconds for dual-motor all-wheel drive models.

Once ready, the 50 locations will deliver up to 9.4 million kwh annually, providing nearly 30 million miles of driving, EVgo claims.

Industry executives agreed that there needs to be a seamless user experience, no matter which EV you drive or where you charge.

EA announced plans for a handful of "showcase stations" with up to 20 DC fast chargers, plus amenities like customer lounges and solar canopies.
