The EV charging stories have been building up, so here we go with another #NewsBonanza. Below are 10 notable EV charging stations we couldn’t make time for, followed by 16 big EV charging stories we did cover before now.
From Tesla Summon to Nissan drama to New York EV support, here’s a rundown of notable electric vehicle news — notable changes or findings in the EV industry — during the month of November.
Recent and upcoming EVs are designed for DC fast charging speeds of 100 kW and more, and are overwhelmingly favouring CCS as the standard charging architecture. Next-generation charging networks in Europe and the US are also favouring CCS. Despite its early lead, CHAdeMO now looks to be falling behind.
First of all, yes, charging on other EV charging networks is certainly fun as well. In the US, there are several other networks — like EVgo, Blink, and Greenlots — that I’m sure are fun to use. In Europe, I know from personal experience that GreenWay and Fastned are great. But when it comes to daily EV life in Sarasota, Florida, ChargePoint is king — and I’m sure that’s the case in a large number of cities across the country.
Volkswagen’s criminal-settlement-mandated Electrify America division has now secured over 100 partner locations across the retail, convenience, and refueling sectors in the USA, it has revealed.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance announced the winners of its 2018 New Energy Pioneers award this week at its annual Future of Energy Summit in New York City, which is given to companies deemed to be leading the way in clean energy technologies and business transformation.
VW finds itself yet again going against German courts that sided with the consumers this time. And this time, it could end up costing the German carmaker a lot more than it originally thought.
A flying Porsche? Yes, you are right, although a little different than what might occur at first. Porsche announced it is looking into designing a human-carrying flying drone. And in order to do that, it needs to put a few ducks in a row.
The significant, constant usage of electricity from a single source like a plug-in vehicle has opened up a new market for grid-scale demand management. Grid-scale demand response bundles charging plug-in vehicles together into a single demand unit when they are using smart chargers connected to a utility. The utility can then have the charging speed throttled up and down to balance the electricity load on the grid.
Love the state or hate it, California is a green electric mobility bastion of projects, programs, and innovations. And the California Public Utilities Commission just approved no less than 15 utility pilot programs to accelerate the widespread electrification of mobility.
