How can I charge my electric vehicle if I have to use on-street parking? The answer is staring us in the face. All those ugly power poles in older, inner city suburbs can now be put to good use under an innovative project funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency … [continued]
Blink was one of the first companies to move into the public charging space at scale and now has thousands of AC and DC charging stations deployed. More recently, the company moved into the residential EV charging space and now boasts two dedicated units to support different home charging needs. … [continued]
The Barcelona-based EV charging gurus at Wallbox sent us their first entry into the North American residential EV charging market, the Pulsar Plus, for a review. We put this brilliant compact charger to the test and it is clearly a serious contender for a number of reasons.
Volkswagen is taking action to lower its carbon footprint and to bring residential EV charging to more people.
Atom Power’s solid state Atom Switches offer the functionality of a circuit breaker on the surface, but their real potential stretches far beyond the breaker panel. One exciting application of the Atom Switch is to replace the electric vehicle service equipment, commonly called an electric vehicle charger.
The new ChargePoint Home Flex residential EVSE was built to take the difficulty out of selecting the right charger at the right speed for home charging. It is capable of accepting incoming 240 volt power at anything from 16 amps up to an impressive 80 amps. They sent us a Home Flex to run through the paces, and after spending a few weeks playing with it, we’re back to share what we have learned about the charger.
EV Navigation is a new mobile and browser-based application that allows EV drivers to precisely map and plan their routes, taking into account all the factors that will affect battery life, driving distance, and charging time based on the model of EV.
In the summer of 2019, Volta partnered with CleanTechnica to conduct an international survey about electric vehicle drivers (and non-EV drivers). The survey gathered almost 10,000 responses across the US and Europe/UK.
The substantial amount of data we were able to gather (thanks to you, CleanTechnica readers!) is invaluable and gives us a glimpse into the frontline of the electric vehicle revolution. To read more about the survey data and what our research found, you can see the preview and full report here.
In the article below, the Volta team summarized some of the data that was most interesting to their company.
As more electric vehicle (EV) models are released and EV charging stations are deployed, the technology supporting the growth has evolved, being driven by consumer and business use cases. This evolution is most apparent in the Combined Charging System’s (CCS) rapidly growing use of charging communication protocol ISO/IEC 15118. Learn more about this important charging technology in this free webinar.
Solar Power International landed in Salt Lake City, Utah this year and CleanTechnica was on the ground meeting with the change makers, the disruptors, the doers, the movers, and the shakers. We’ve been diving into some of the companies we talked with, but having covered SPI for several years now, we wanted to highlight one of the newer arrivals at the show: electric vehicles.
