Electric car wireless charging may be coming soon to Tesla while real buttons on the dash are on their way from Volkswagen.
Ford and Resideo Technologies recently unveiled their collaborative project, the “EV-Home Power Partnership.” This joint simulation initiative will look at vehicle-to-home (V2H) energy management. Specifically, the companies will be exploring the potential of electric vehicle batteries to help home energy usage. By pairing bi-directional EV charging with a Resideo smart … [continued]
Way back when the Volkswagen ID.3 was first shown, Volkswagen execs also highlighted eventual bidirectional charging. Now, we’re getting there, with a bidirectional charging initiative for ID. models just starting in Sweden. In particular, this is a vehicle-to-home system that has been created to complement home solar PV power. First … [continued]
A recent post by the U.S. Department of Energy proves what many of us suspected all along: that free charging leads to more use of a limited resource. With this non-Tesla charging data, we can be reasonably sure that not only does free DC fast charging use more power, but … [continued]
Over the past decade+ that I’ve covered the electric vehicle industry, certain debates have lived on and on, sometimes with almost no real change. There’s the charging vs. battery swapping debate, which has actually evolved a bit due to what NIO has been able to accomplish, but any story about … [continued]
Scania and ABB are working together to provide their customers with reliable, diverse, well fitting EV fast chargers. Electric vehicles offer smooth and quiet driving.

Innovation often springs from solving a problem and realizing that an entirely new approach might be the best way forward. Thirteen years ago, Desmond Wheatley and his team were deploying grid-tied electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, some coupled with solar panels. When a city council approached them to install stations … [continued]
