Chances are that today’s children will never experience driving a car that runs on fossil fuels. To prepare them, students from two Dutch primary schools are already learning on the playground how to charge their future electric cars.
Amsterdam has one of the world’s best EV charging infrastructures.
An experiment is taking place in a neighborhood in Amsterdam. Residents are being asked to give up their residential parking spaces and convert them into green space. Some of the residents are furious.
Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport continues to lead by example with the installation of 109 Heliox fast chargers that will support a new fleet of electric buses for the facility.
Syracuse Airport got a bit of support from Tesla fans recently when it was spotted that a rendering of a passenger pickup/dropoff area included two Tesla cars (a Model S and a Model 3). Looking at the entire rendering, that gave Tesla a 13% share of the 4-wheeled human movers.
As you may have seen, I was in Amsterdam last month for the 2018 rEVolution conference organized by EVBox. I both love and hate going to Amsterdam — it is electric vehicle (EV) heaven and bicycle heaven, which makes it perhaps the #1 large city in the world for clean transportation. Why would that make me hate going there? Because I don’t live there!
Enthusiasm for the fully electric future of mobility was one of the core elements of the rEVolution conference in Amsterdam on March 13. More than this: It was sort of like a little Woodstock for e-mobility. Yeaaaah! Great music, thundering sound, and the two hosts, Monica Araya and CleanTechnica Director Zachary Shahan, entering the stage like pop stars for their picturesque welcome.
The Australia-based plug-in electric vehicle fast-charging solutions firm Tritium has opened a new European Headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Fastned is still the only EV charging network I know of that includes CHAdeMO, CCS, and Tesla (via adapter) charging options at all of its stations. This may seem unimportant, since Tesla has its own Supercharger network, but as Fastned co-founder Bart Lubbers pointed out in a recent interview with me, approximately half of the electric cars in the Netherlands are Teslas. As such, even with other options, many of Fastned’s customers are Tesla drivers.
One of the top presentations at EVBox’s first annual rEVolution conference earlier this year came from Bart Vertelman, Program Manager of Electric Mobility at the City of Amsterdam. Check out his presentation below in this exclusive CleanTechnica video.
