The Biden-Harris Administration opened applications today for a historic $1.3 billion funding opportunity for electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in urban and rural communities and along designated highways, interstates, and major roadways. This is the largest single grant funding opportunity for EV charging in the nation’s history and it will … [continued]
A few years ago, Electrify America announced a “Boost Plan” that aims to more than double the number of stations and chargers by the end of 2025. Serious hardware problems got in the way of that plan, forcing the company to slow down. But another recent announcement shows us that … [continued]
Electric vehicle fast chargers are growing strongly in the United States.

EV chargers are expensive, especially for fast chargers (Level 3). A decent charging station can easily cost a million dollars, and then cost thousands … [continued]
Some US states are on track for rapid EV charging station buildout with an assist from both state and federal funds, others not so much.
The infrastructure bill that provided billions for EV charging stations wasn’t a simple thing. On the surface, spending big money and getting stations every 50 miles along the interstate highways sounded straightforward, but nothing’s easy in government. Like federal highway funding, the money went from the federal government to state … [continued]
FreeWire Technologies is adding its plug-and-play, ultra-fast EV charging stations to GM's growing pot of vehicle electrification services.

The federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act are making once-in-a generation investments in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution. However, it can be challenging for state and local governments — and advocates — to keep track of all the funding programs created by these laws, and direct funding to … [continued]
