In some ways, EV charging is a whole new world. Instead of needing to be located at a dedicated gas station, with big underground tanks and other infrastructure to receive shipments, an EV charging station can be placed almost anywhere. Shopping malls, restaurants, big box stores, rest areas, and just … [continued]
In the past, I’ve covered FreeWire Technologies a number of times. It’s an innovative EV charging business that offers stations with built-in battery storage. This gives property owners the ability to put in DC fast charging even when there’s no three-phase power available, or allows them to put in multiple … [continued]
In late 2021, I wrote a four-part article series about the vast potential and possible downsides of Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for the Metaverse. At the time, Facebook and Oculus (which had previously been bought by Facebook) were both rolled into a new parent company: Meta. Facing falling use at Facebook … [continued]
That Time When Japanese Wood Construction Was Seen As A Weakness During World War II, the United States came up with an idea that was almost as awful as using atomic bombs: a bomb that slowly drifts down and then releases bats, which would then carry little napalm bombs to … [continued]
One thing we’ve written about a lot here at CleanTechnica is the future of convenience stores in the EV transition. My take has been that gas stations can’t just add EV chargers out front next to the gas pumps and hope for the best. Why? Because EV charging is a … [continued]

When it comes to EV charging infrastructure, I feel like Rivian’s efforts don’t get a lot of attention. It’s a relatively new network, and it’s not built by a company that starts with a T and ends with -esla. But, what I’ve seen on Plugshare and on social media indicates … [continued]
Eventually, there will be EV charging all over the place. Like gas stations, we’ll get to the point where every small town along most highways gives you a few options to choose from. When that time comes, it will make sense to put up signs pointing people to the charging … [continued]
I came across an interesting post the other day on social media that (mostly) checks out. As Chinese EVs get cheaper and cheaper, U.S. manufacturers are starting to freak out. BYD in China just dropped this ad saying "Electric Cheaper Than Gasoline".This BYD car starts at $11,100 USD and they … [continued]
One of the big reasons to get away from the city is to see the magic of the night sky in all of its glory. Away from the bright lights, you can see things like the Milky Way, the zodiacal glow, and even a cool spot in the sky called … [continued]
