Hyundai Motor Group has joined the European ultrafast charging network Ionity. The Ionity charging network is one of the most useful and widespread in charging networks in Europe, created to provide a Supercharger-like network for non-Tesla electric vehicles.
Electrify America this week got into the B2B (business-to-business) game, launching Electrify Commercial.
Electrify America continues its long march across the United States. Most recently, it announced a partnership with Meijer, a major supercenter retail chain in the Midwest. It will be installing 36 ultrafast charging stations at 9 stores. The stores are located in the Chicago area and Michigan.
Tritium, an EV fast charging company based out of Australia, has now jumped into Plug & Charge. In fact, Tritium says it’s “first to market” with this new solution, offering 350 kW ultrafast chargers (aka high-power chargers) right now with Plug & Charge capability.
The largest ultrafast charging network in Europe aside from Tesla’s exclusive Supercharger network is the Ionity network. The “second phase” of the network’s development is now moving forward.
Following up on an analysis we published previously, a recent real-world DC charging test by Bjørn Nyland clearly shows the Tesla Model 3’s significant charging advantage over the Audi e-tron. Even on a CCS charger, which doesn’t take full advantage of the Tesla’s potential, the Model 3 performs much better.
While people have been charging at Electrify America sites for months in the eastern portions of the US, the Southwest deserts have been among the last places to get a station. I recently had my first chance to use one in Deming, New Mexico. I was very impressed with the station, but there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to paying for a charge.
