On paper, it appears that eMotorWerks’ JuiceBox is the most advanced and intelligent Level 2 EVSE (“EV charger”) on the market today. As such, we were excited for the opportunity to spend some quality time with the JuiceBox Pro 40 to see if it lived up to the hype.
One of the top presentations at EVBox’s first annual rEVolution conference earlier this year came from Sture Portvik, project leader for electrical vehicles and charging infrastructure in the City of Oslo’s Agency for Urban Environment. He was also presenting in Paris recently for Autonomy, where I was again present to moderate some panel discussions.
The #1 complaint about Tesla seems to be that … we have to wait too long for mass production of its products. That’s sort of a sign that the company is doing things quite well. Actually, if you crunch the numbers, you can see that Tesla cars offer more range, better performance, better interior tech, better semi-autonomous driving features, better charging options, and …
The transition from internal combustion vehicles to electrified vehicles is shattering business models in automotive manufacturing, the entire global oil industry, and a handful of tangential industries like electricity generation, energy storage, and shipping, among others.
Frank Pawlitschek and Knut Hechtfischer co-founded ubitricity in 2008 with the vision of smart and sustainable charging of electric vehicles (EVs) everywhere EV-users go. Both attorneys at trade, the two founders decided to joined forces and combine Knut’s passion for renewables and Frank’s experience in the startup industry to build something together.
KManAuto is a well known chronicler of everything Tesla on his popular YouTube channel. He was on hand at the Tesla Semi extravaganza yesterday (along with our own Kyle Field) and shot some video that includes a first look at the charging port for Tesla’s groundbreaking Class 8 heavy hauler. What he found was that it has room for an 8 pin connector — four times as many as the normal Tesla Supercharger uses for its passenger cars.
We were just as surprised as everyone else when Elon Musk disappeared from stage during tonight’s semi truck unveil … and then the Tesla Roadster 2.0 appeared.
CleanTechnica’s Kyle Field is in Hawthorne for the Tesla Semi Truck unveiling. He’s getting or got or will get a pre-event briefing, but he’s prohibited from sharing any details or even pictures from the site before Elon takes the stage and the event begins. I’m quite tempted to ask for some info off the record, but I’ll just be patient and wait in line like the rest of you … sort of.
We’ve seen a handful of Tesla Model 3 review videos floating around — including an excellent hour-long, deep dive into the car’s features by our friends at Model 3 Owners Club. That said, we just got a chance to conduct an in-depth evaluation of Model 3 for ourselves. It’s a fascinating car, and in our view, will come to dominate the mid-sized sedan segment over the next few years.
It shouldn’t surprise you that seeing a nice pic of the new Tesla Supercharger station in Kettleman City, California, triggered another article. This station is really a prime example that others should learn from, and it’s not just about one or two things — I counted 10.
