Munich/Pforzheim, April 25, 2024 — In the coming years, e-mobility is set to play an increasingly important role in the energy transition.

There is a direct relationship between the time US consumers spend with an electric vehicle (EV) and their desire to purchase one. On the other hand, over one-third of US consumers haven’t had the chance to get up-front-and-personal with an EV. It’s clearly time to expose more consumers to EVs … [continued]

Once you’re ready to drive electric (we hope we helped convince you in our last post), you’ll have to determine how and where to charge your new electric ride. 80% of charging happens at home and 20% at destination and fast chargers, which are essential for road trips. Today we’ll … [continued]
The electric vehicle revolution has barely gotten under way, and already the goalposts for EV charging times are moving on to the next phase.
Many automotive dealerships, which sell the majority of new vehicles, are not prepared for the electric transition.
