It’s a well-known problem: people who fall deep into the pit of drug addiction often can’t keep a job or other gainful activities going. But, when they run out of money, they can’t give up the drugs. So, their dealer proposes a solution: go get some valuables instead! I’ve seen … [continued]
A few weeks ago, I was really excited about a new side-project I was starting. The goal? To get more EV fast charging into rural areas. But, I’m going to have to sadly report that despite putting some good time into it, I’ve run into zero success. Why? Because nobody … [continued]
Over the past four years, WOLFBOX has become a trusted brand in the automotive electronics market, serving over 2 million customers.

This installation will be part of the second phase of MBSA’s pursuit towards net-carbon-neutral manufacturing. The first phase of the 3,692 PV solar panel … [continued]
When it comes to improving EV charging stations, how well they work gets most of the attention. A station could have the ugliest stalls possible, but if it works, that’s what matters the most. Other convenience and comfort factors, like pull-thru stalls, access to bathrooms and food/drink, and shade canopies … [continued]
In EV media and social media, we tend to spend a lot of time worrying about improving EV charging. If it’s not available on every road, it’s a problem. If it’s not working 100%, that’s a problem. Even when it’s widely available and working well (basically Tesla’s Supercharger network), we … [continued]
When it comes to EV charging, we basically need all we can get. In many places, the main highway has enough chargers to theoretically get through, but as more and more people go electric and more and more cars are stopping at these stations, things can get crowded fast. Long … [continued]
