The National Renewable Energy Laboratory expects Level 1 and Level 2 charging to handle 80% of all EV charging duties by 2030. Sufficient energy from the electric grid may be needed to support 33 million EVs on the road by 2030. The majority (64%) of EV charging is estimated to … [continued]
Looking through some old photos recently, I came across the one at the top of this article. The occasion? The opening of Electrify America’s station in El Paso. This was back in 2019, and it was the first non-Tesla EV charging station in the whole region. When I bought the … [continued]
