Boston is EV-friendly, but it needs more accessible chargers, so it's going to install hundreds of public curbside EV chargers.

TORRANCE, Calif. — With Seth Cutler as CEO, IONNA targets to become one of the most accessible and reliable high-powered charging networks in North America with plans to deploy at least 30,000 chargers.

America's EV charging network increased by 24 percent from 2023-2024, with California as the top state for total EV chargers (51,490) and Alaska with the...

Hyundai and Kia electric vehicles will gain NACS charging ports and Tesla Supercharger access at the end of 2024.

A 3-person home will save 2,820 kWh annually with a heat pump water heater. Those savings more than offset the power needed to charge an EV!

The Hyundai brand Genesis is apparently saying goodbye to its ambitions for inductive charging of electric cars. As the Korean portal Bloter reports, Genesis di

• The automakers will install only NACS chargers beginning with electric vehicles produced in Q4 2024.
• Existing Kia and Hyundai EV drivers will have access to charging adaptors beginning in Q1 2025.
• Part of the agreement involves Tesla Superchargers being able to support the ultra-fast charging platform in Kia and Hyundai EVs.

SAE International announced today that it will standardize the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging connector.

This important decision follows the switch from the SAE J1772 Combo (aka Combined Charging System - CCS1) charging standard in North America to NACS, announced by Ford, General Motors, Rivian and most recently Volvo, as well as a double-digit number of other companies

Manufacturers are switching from NMC to LFP batteries for a number of reasons.

• Reduced likelihood of thermal runaway
• Elimination of nickel and cobalt
• Better charging performance at extreme temperatures
• 5x longevity in terms of charging cycles

Study of home charging on electrical grid requirements

The EV market grew 46% in 2022 compared to 2021, and EVs made up approximately 6.7% of new vehicle sales nationwide last year. With this booming market as a backdrop, Plug In America once again found that EV drivers love their vehicles, with 90% of owners reporting they are “likely” or “very likely” to purchase an EV as their next automobile.

What are the primary motivations for drivers and those considering EVs?
What are the most valuable sources of information available to EV customers?
What is the quality of the current EV buying experience for customers?
Are EV owners content? Why or why not?
What are the most significant concerns with existing fast-charging networks?

Many electric vehicle chargers across the U.S. do not work properly, creating a significant challenge for the Biden administration's agenda and a shift away from gasoline-powered cars.

We provide the first at-scale estimate of electric vehicle (EV) home charging. Previous estimates are either based on surveys that reach conflicting conclusions, or are extrapolated from a small, unrepresentative sample of households with dedicated EV meters. We combine billions of hourly electricity meter measurements with address-level EV registration records from California households. The average EV increases overall household load by 2.9 kilowatt-hours per day, less than half the amount assumed by state regulators. Our results imply that EVs travel 5,300 miles per year, under half of the US fleet average. This raises questions about transportation electrification for climate policy.
