Charging
With vehicle-to-home technology, EVs are about to play a massive role in how homes receive and manage electricity.
Public charger performance has been a sore point the industry is working to mend. It’s also becoming more important to companies’ balance sheets.
German supplier Rheinmetall has started production of a charge point that gets embedded at the ground level.
The small crossover is taller and has a wider wheelbase than the Renault 5, making it more practical for families, much like the original icon built from the 1960s until the 1990s.
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program was designed to solve a pressing problem — building chargers in areas without significant EV adoption, where private industry has been unable or unwilling to invest. Now the program is in doubt as President Donald Trump wants to withhold federal funds supporting EV transition.
Trump is targeting the NEVI program, which was designed to build charging infrastructure in charging deserts. States are suing.
California’s attorney general said his state and 16 others are suing President Donald Trump for suspending a $5 billion federal funding program for electric car chargers, arguing his directives to slash the subsidies are unlawful.
BYD plans to leap over tariff hurdles to sell all-electric vehicles in Japan's hard-to-crack all-important minicar segment.
An upgraded version of CATL's Shenxing battery will offer 520 kilometers (323 miles) of range after just five minutes of charging time. Rival BYD recently launched a system it says can charge a vehicle for 400 kilometers in about the same time.
Vaisala Xweather, a weather research company, took a look at EV range month to month, state by state.
