Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure: Guidelines for Cities — #CleanTechnica Report
Below is the first chapter of our free report Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure: Guidelines for Cities. As I said, the report is completely free, but we’re making it more free now by publishing the chapters as articles here on CleanTechnica. Share with your friends, city councilors, and local business leaders.
West Meets East: Charging Central & Eastern Europe’s Electromobility Revolution
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.
Revolution Returns — CleanTechnica Conferences In Berlin, Wroclaw, Warsaw, & Lodz
CleanTechnica and GridHub jointly organized three conferences last year — in Berlin (Germany), Leipzig (Germany), and then Wroclaw (Poland). We had wonderful attendees, fascinating presentations and panel discussions, great partners, and a ton of fun. So, we decided to launch a big series of conferences in the coming year to keep the cleantech inspiration rolling.

With approximately 90% of electricity coming from coal, the coal lobby is hugely powerful here — so deeply powerful that extremely smart and thoughtful people are indirectly misinformed by this industry. There’s also a strong anti-science trend here — on climate science as well as some other matters. If climate progress in the EU is blocked, it’s very likely blocked by Poland.
