As the electric vehicle (EV) industry continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable and efficient software platforms to manage EV charging infrastructure. Whether you’re a small business owner, a large• scale fleet operator, or a charge point operator (CPO), having the right platform can be crucial to optimizing...
It’s no surprise we’ve finally reached the point of no return―no, not that point of no return. I’m talking about the positive one where we all convert to green technologies seemingly overnight and save the planet in less time than it takes an EV to go 0 to 60 off...
Last week, the Biden-Harris administration proposed new standards for the National Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (NEVI) program, a “key piece” of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in November of 2021. The NEVI Formula Program, which will provide $7.5 billion in funds for the construction of publicly available electric vehicle charging...
In a new study conducted by Energy Innovation, a policy and technology LLC, EVs were found to be cheaper off the lot in most states than gasoline-powered vehicles despite their typically higher sticker price. In Q1 of 2021, nearly 81% of new-car buyers chose to finance their purchases, while 34.5%...
Last week, the state of California announced new submetering protocols for residential EV charging. This change will allow residential EV owners to charge their cars at a lower kWh price than the rate billed for power used in other capacities without the need of additional, costly equipment to measure EV-specific...
It’s no secret that the conversation surrounding the positive effects of mass electric vehicle adoption primarily revolves around reducing environmental impacts relating to the climate. However, the state of California’s very public attempt to combat climate change, while a definitive net positive, eschews a supplementary effect of mass EV adoption:...
If you live in California or other parts of the western United States, you’ve likely heard terms like “energy resiliency” or “energy redundancy” tossed around. With climate change causing high temperatures, reduced hydropower generation and increased wildfire risk, the need for California and other states’ grids to be strengthened has...
With boons to the EV industry over the last several years, it’s easy to believe that the United States is on a path to be an electrified superstar. Tesla, an undebatable giant in the EV world, is based primarily in the United States and produces the majority of its cars...
When we think about the conversion from a fossil fuel-reliant fleet to one powered by electricity, a lot of us probably envision some version of already-existent gasoline fueling architecture: Sleek electric chargers replace pumps, the long charging hose reminiscent of those used to pump gasoline in the distant past.
We’ve already covered several reasons why consumers put off the conversion to electric vehicles. Major factors include dreaded range anxiety or the misinformed belief that electric vehicles are always more expensive than internal combustion engines. These concerns are alleviated easily enough when the available data is examined, often reorienting EVs...
