Works with Synop program tackles EV charger interoperability issues
Many companies offer charging and energy management solutions for EV fleets, and most claim that their systems are hardware-agnostic. But can a fleet operator be sure that their existing EVSE has actually been tested with the software they’re buying? Energy management provider Synop has released Works with Synop, a program that provides customers with a… Read more »
Packaging second-life EV batteries into a plug-and-play energy storage system
Q&A with Smartville CEO and co-founder Antoni Tong What do EV batteries have in common with athletes and politicians? Once they age out (or get voted out) of their positions, they have the opportunity to have a lucrative (and in the case of batteries, useful) second career. Repurposing depleted EV batteries for stationary storage applications… Read more »
NREL study identifies charging needs to accelerate US EV adoption
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers have released The 2030 national charging network: estimating US light-duty demand for EV charging infrastructure, a quantitative needs assessment for a national charging network capable of supporting the US transition to EVs. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation and the DOE’s… Read more »
Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks
Q&A with electric truck expert Rustam Kocher Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles make up a small fraction of the vehicles on the road, but they generate a disproportionate amount of pollution. Therefore, electrifying them is critical to reducing emissions. Furthermore, the case for electric trucks and buses would seem to be an easy one to make…. Read more »
Will California’s bidirectional EV charging mandate bring Tesla on board with bidirectional charging?
California Governor Gavin Newsom is just one of many who have called bidirectional charging a “game-changing” technology. Going bi enables vehicle-to-grid applications, which not only provide nifty features to EV drivers, but are widely seen as an essential tool for smoothly integrating large numbers of EVs into the electrical grid. That’s why the California legislature… Read more »
