Not all places with higher levels of EV adoption have a high level of home chargers—suggesting some very different public-charging needs by region.

The prototype robot uses a camera to guide the charging connector into position, with tech that might eventually be put to use for autonomous vehicles.

States are submitting plans for how most of $5 billion earmarked by the infrastructure law will be allocated—with EV charging locations focused around alternative fuel corridors still being designated.

Pilot and Flying J travel centers will host 500 DC fast-charging stations, all manned 24/7 and equipped with 350-kw chargers—with most to be installed by 2025.

The robot finds the car, plugs in, and then returns to a staging area to be recharged from the grid, a solar array, or energy storage batteries

Nio also plans to start making its own 800-volt battery packs in-house in 2024 for a new mass-market brand, the company confirmed.

Three first sites open in Colorado and California this week, allowing Rivian drivers to recover up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes.

Siemens is the first outside investor in Electrify America, which was created as part of VW's diesel-emissions settlement with the federal government.

After a one-time activation, drivers can plug in and start charging with no additional steps needed—and be automatically billed for each charge.

Hillcrest's solution would instead put the vehicle's inverter to use, potentially reducing cost, complexity, and weight.

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 state's hydropower generating capacity is nearly half that of normal conditions, forcing California to rely on more carbon-intensive sources for a greater amount of its grid mix

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.

One of the most obvious targets for hackers might be fleets, which they could potentially disable by disrupting nightly charging for delivery vehicles.
