EV Charging Habits & Patterns In USA & Europe — CleanTechnica Report
This article explores various EV charging habits and patterns — as well as a bit of EV charging knowledge — in the United States and Europe.
Europe EV Charging
Charging Points: Growth Not Keeping Pace With Rising Demand For Electric Vehicles, New Data Show
A new report by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) shows that despite strong growth, the available charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the EU still falls far below what is needed, and remains unevenly distributed across member states.

For the true road warrior it’s not just about the range of the vehicle. The availability of DC fast charging stations is also a critical factor.
Non-Tesla Electric Cars Can Now Charge For Free On Some European Tesla Superchargers
Historically, only Tesla vehicles have been able to charge at Tesla Superchargers. However, the European Commission got a bit antsy and — whiz, bang, boom — Supercharging has been opened up to the many electric car drivers in Europe who don’t have a T on their hoods.
Porsche Taycan: Matching Fossil-Fueled Vehicles On Long Journeys (Almost)
The hardest piece to write when reporting an event is the final one, the one summarizing it all up after the event is over. Excitement fades away, you are back to your daily chores, and the faint memory of the electric Porsche Taycan turns more faint every hour.
Is Trojan Energy The Future Of Electric Car Charging?
I think some of the most popular EV charging options of the future are yet to really roll out and scale up. One idea that I think should take over Europe eventually is being pioneered by Trojan Energy.
In The European Charging Jungle With A Porsche Taycan
Reporting from the Taycan #eRally, I’m planning to make many CleanTechnica readers happy today and will throw in some interesting real-life data on charging, range, and energy use.
Fastned Continues To See Rapid Revenue & Customer Growth, + Geographic Expansion
Fastned’s Q3 quarterly update shows the growth we have become accustomed to from this company. It is usual exponential growth, albeit slowing from 2018. The numbers are impressive, but they appear more impressive when looking at this graph:
CleanTechnica’s Tesla Shuttle Weaves Through Romania, Bulgaria, & Macedonia … But Does The Battery Die?
Where did we leave off? Right, in beautiful Romania. Since then, the reports we are getting have become somehow more chaotic. It could be the heat, it could be the tiredness, or it could simply be excellent wine. We will never know. Anyway, in the last entry, I said we would save driving on your last kilowatts for later, and here we are.
Use Europe’s Electricity Underuse To Promote Electric Cars
Electricity distribution networks in Europe run at well below their full potential, finds a new study from the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP). The findings show that the unused network capacity could be utilized for charging electric vehicles with little or no need for additional capacity. Smart pricing and smart grid technologies will be the keys.
