Startup plans to open all 20 by 2026 and broke ground this week on the first, in Santa Ana.

Agreements with EVgo and Electrify America will give Honda and Acura EV drivers "single-app access" to charging stations on both networks.

These 5-kw chargers will be installed directly on street lampposts, in areas surrounding London where overnight street parking is common.

The harmonized standard is claimed to be back-compatible with both CHAdeMO and CCS, while it offers high-power charging up to 1.2 megawatts.

For EV drivers concerned about battery degradation, a few key decisions about how they park, charge, and even which battery they choose can help their car fare better over the long run.

The money will help fund the installation of DC fast-chargers in disadvantaged communities—fitting in alongside new EV purchase incentives dependent on income.

The Wallbox Quasar 2, with the Kia EV9, is the first U.S.-market automaker-approved solution capable of providing bidirectional charging serving both in home-backup and vehicle-to-grid functionality.

Called ChargeScape, the company aims to connect EV owners in the U.S. and Canada with electric utilities for "EV-enabled grid services."

The Level 2 Universal Wall Connector chargers will be able to top off many EVs during an overnight stay.

Results show no significant acceleration of range degradation for those who fast-charge 90% of the time versus those fast-charging less than 10% of the time, according to Recurrent.

Tech in the adapter would allow a vehicle equipped for bidirectional charging to discharge power from its charge port, to another vehicle.

Some charging networks performed especially well, though—Volta for Level 2 charging and Tesla Supercharging for DC fast-charging.

Fisker hasn't yet provided a start date for putting the Tesla port on its own vehicles or clarified which model will get it first.

A patent by Ford to wirelessly charge electric vehicles on the go suggests putting inductive charging coils in the road surface.

Starting August 17, the second largest DC fast-charging network will move to a more dynamic pricing structure instead of a flat fee to charge electric vehicles.

Tesla's apparent acquisition of a company working on wireless industrial charging might actually tie in with Tesla's tease of wireless EV charging—and be a necessary hurdle for robotaxis.

The route connects to a factory being built in Mexico, and Tesla reportedly told Texas officials that the project could qualify for federal grants being distributed under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

It hints that early next year a 400-kw upgrade to the connectors of Porsche Charging Lounges should be possible. Which future model will arrive a bit later to take advantage of it?

The prototype making both redundant isn't ready for commercialization, but Stellantis believes a similar hardware set could be ready for use in production EVs by 2030.

The California site caters to electric buses intended for longer-range transit and was developed with input from utility PG&E.
