While Tesla, Rivian, and every major automaker desperately hunt for engineers who can actually build autonomous EVs, 80+ university teams just proved they’re finally teaching the right skills. And it happened at a racetrack in Michigan. The dirty secret slowing clean transportation adoption isn’t battery chemistry or charging infrastructure anymore … [continued]
SAE and partners plan to begin testing a new plug and charge standard that will eliminate many of the charging issues EV drivers have today.
Experts underscore that the standard is for a system of charging, not just a plug, and relay best practices. The auto industry took the next step in the evolution of North American electric vehicle charging solutions today at The Battery Show in Detroit. That’s where SAE International released its NACS … [continued]

SAE International (previously known as the Society of Automotive Engineers) recently released a new version of its J3016 standards, widely known as the levels of driving automation. The goal? To clarify the differences between the levels, and to make it clear that Levels 0 through 2 are not autonomous. Chart … [continued]
SAE International has published J2954, a new standard for wireless charging of electric vehicles.
Good old CHAdeMO. CHAdeMO fast charging has been powering electric vehicles since 2009. I remember my first charging experience with one of the first LEAFs — charging with a hefty cable and pouring the electricity into the car in just 40 minutes. It was a revolution and instantaneously made long EV drives a possibility.
To explore what some of the biggest electric vehicle (EV) trends might be in 2018, I captured the insights and predictions from 14 industry experts by having them answer this question: What will be the biggest electric vehicle news story or development in 2018?
The pace of plug-in vehicle sales continues to ramp up, with 2017 the first year seeing more than 1 million plug-in vehicles sold globally.
