Is Florida’s proposed infrastructure law anti-EV or pro-competition?
Charged’s home state of Florida is something of an EV hotspot—there are an estimated 58,000 electric vehicles in the Sunshine State, and according to the DOE, Florida has the third-largest number of charging stations in the US, behind only California and New York. This progress is not the result of any particular pro-EV policies of… Read more »
Florida lawmaker says public chargers should be exempt from utility demand charges
Utility demand charges—steep fees that commercial customers pay when their power consumption exceeds a certain level—are the bane of public charging operators, and most Charged readers are probably familiar with how they work. Average Joe and Jane, however, are blissfully ignorant of their existence, and might be shocked to learn that they represent a roadblock… Read more »
US DOT: Federal funds for EV infrastructure will start to flow this year
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal—whatever you call it, it provides a plentiful pot of federal funding for EV charging infrastructure. When Charged spoke with former EPA official Margo Oge in January about the policy, we asked her how long it would take before the money starts to flow. “I… Read more »
Continental and Volterio develop automated charging system
Continental Engineering Services (CES) has partnered with startup Volterio to develop an automated conductive charging system. Volterio plans to develop near-production systems for the jointly designed “charging robot” by mid-2022. CES will then take the product through the certification process and take over production. Volume production of the system is planned for 2024 and will… Read more »
A closer look at minimizing AC charging losses: From the breaker to EV (Part 1)
It’s fairly well known by now that EVs cost far less per mile to drive than their closest ICE counterparts, and the main reason is simply that the EV drivetrain is far more efficient at converting its stored form of energy into motion. In the quest to improve efficiency even more, the focus tends to… Read more »
St Petersburg, Florida’s PSTA hopes to deploy 60 new electric buses
The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, which serves Charged’s home city of St Petersburg, Florida, hopes to add 60 electric buses to its fleet over the next five years. The PSTA board has unanimously approved an agreement with bus-maker Gillig to provide the 60 new e-buses. The procurement, which is expected to cost $80 million, including… Read more »
US House passes public works bill with $7.5 billion for EV charging infrastructure
Finally! After much inter- and intra-party wrangling, the US House passed an infrastructure package that authorizes $550 billion of new investment over several years, including $7.5 billion for EV charging infrastructure and several other EV- and clean energy-related items. The total price tag for the package comes to over $1.2 trillion when routine funding for… Read more »
ABB to provide charging infrastructure for Lilium’s electric regional air network
ABB E-mobility will provide the charging infrastructure for electric aircraft manufacturer Lilium‘s regional air network, which is scheduled for commercial launch in 2024. Lilium has announced planned launch networks in Florida, Germany and Brazil. As part of the agreement, ABB will develop, test and supply charging equipment based on standards being developed by CharIN’s Megawatt… Read more »
The future of EV charging and liquid cooling components
Sponsored by CPC As the widespread adaption of electric vehicles continues to expand, increased charging speeds become critical. There are three levels of charging types, with the Level 3 charging as fast as 30 – 60 minutes. But drivers don’t want to wait. A fourth charging type is under exploration and could charge EVs to… Read more »
