Nio is allowing owners to get a fully charged battery in less time than Tesla Supercharging—via the company's three-minute battery-swapping.

A report from Germany serves as a reminder that smart charging and grid loading are as important in electric-vehicle adoption as fast charging.

EVgo and Electrify America have formed a roaming partnership that will allow members of one service to charge at the other's stations.

The CCS standard for DC fast charging has prevailed, but in late 2019 it still isn't the prevalent one.

In the UK, the number of charging-station locations now outnumbers the number of gas-station locations. That's not yet the case in the U.S.

We want to know if our readers could be helped by robotic electric-car chargers.

Stable Auto and Electrify America are partnering on a pilot project in San Francisco that will study how to automate DC fast charging.

A bill introduced to the Senate could include spending on electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as projects cutting carbon emissions.

A new charge point design from Urban Electric aims to provide Level 2 charging at night or when needed and tuck out of the way the rest of the time.

SparkCharge proposes to fill in charging-infrastructure gaps with portable DC fast charging, via a small modular system that's easy to transport.

Wireless taxi stands could give taxis the right amount of charge on the go, as the city transitions away from cabs with tailpipes to an all-electric fleet.

Two major charging networks are connecting to allow interoperability between their members at more than 30,000 charge points, without additional fees.

Last week, when we brought you an account of how an electric car wouldn't work in the midst of a medical emergency—in the Midwest, in the winter—boy, did we (and he) get an earful from our readers. That convergence amounted to the perfect storm of difficulty for any electric...

Tesla V3 Supercharger hardware allows the Model 3 to be the fastest-charging electric car currently on the roads; but so far it's only in Fremont.

We can talk about driving range breathlessly but charging infrastructure is the real short circuit when it comes to electric cars today.

General Motors, the nation's biggest automaker, is teaming up with construction giant Bechtel to build thousands of chargers around the U.S. with the aim of promoting adoption of electric cars. The companies will form a joint venture to build the chargers in which Bechtel will provide its expertise...

In the rollout of the 2019 E-tron quattro SUV, Audi is making the claim that rated range might not be the most important thing on a road trip. The E-tron is rated at just 204 miles of estimated range, so the German automaker has some steep ground to gain versus Tesla. But it's made a case that...

If electric cars need more public places to charge, maybe they could just go to gas stations. That seems to be the approach behind the latest installations of EVgo stations in California. CHECK OUT: Gas stations OK, electric-car chargers too ugly? The company, which bills itself as the largest...

If electric cars are supposed to clean up the environment and reduce global warming—and they are—EV drivers would like to rely on 100 percent renewable energy to do charge. And charging networks are striving to provide it. Many, including Tesla with its Supercharger stations, are...

A new debate is raging in the electric-car and charging communities: Whether electric-car drivers should pay for charging like gas, by the kilowatt-hour; or like parking, by the minute. Electrify America, which has been firmly in the latter camp, released new pricing plans last week that takes a...
