Plug-in vehicle drivers have more options than ever when it comes time to find a plug-in vehicle charging outlet. In the US, charging network operators such as ChargePoint and EVgo have developed robust smartphone apps that make finding a station within the network easy. In other countries, there are often similar networks with their own apps for local drivers.
We published 509 articles in October. It’s rather hard to read every single one — I’m not sure if anyone does, but I can tell you that I don’t have time for that and I’m the director and chief editor of the site! We publish weekly and monthly roundups of the most popular articles, but I’ve felt like something was still lacking. So, I’ve decided to jump into a couple of new monthly reports — one for electric vehicles (this one) and one for solar energy + stationary energy storage.
We’re more than 50% through the first day of our first EV charging conference —West Meets East: Charging Central & Eastern Europe’s Electromobility Revolution — which is part of our Cleantech Revolution Tour. Hundreds of useful comments have already been thrown around, but I’m going to try to consolidate some of the top points.
One of the leading foreign solar power developers active in India – Fortum – is planning to sell equity stake in its solar power projects, media outlets have reported.
The first step towards nationwide electric vehicle charging infrastructure in India was recently taken by the government when an agreement was signed between a Finland-based company and a government-owned infrastructure developer in India.
Helsinki-based clean energy company Fortum has announced timely and invigorating news for electric mobility expansion and the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure — across the vast country of India. India has only about 6,000 electric cars, but it is looking to swiftly move forward and actually aims to be the first fully electric car nation. The goal is to have only electric vehicles on the market by 2030. Whether you think the target is viable or not, there must be immediate opportunities for EV infrastructure leaders.
It’s often best to simply use what’s on hand for what one needs rather than go looking for resources elsewhere. With that line of thought in mind, an upcoming international horse show in Finland will apparently be powered by the burning of horse manure, according to the Finnish utility company Fortum.
CleanTechnica’s conference season never ends, and aside from conferences this autumn in Dubai (UAE) and Paris (France) where we lent or will lend our face and thoughts, we are also hosting our next Cleantech Revolution Tour conference in November, this time alongside co-organizer and regional EV charging leader Greenway.
Unofficial Tesla evangelist Bjørn Nyland uncovered what is, in all likelihood, the world’s largest EV-charging-enabled parking structure, which features a whopping 102 charging stations.
