US public EV charging providers are rapidly adding NACS (SAE J3400) connectors to their charging stations. Industry giant ChargePoint has introduced Omni Port, an EV connector solution that allows drivers of all makes of EVs to charge at the same station by combining “the most prevalent connector types” (which we assume means CCS and NACS)… Read more »

Whatever happens to Tesla, adopting its NACS connector won’t solve EV charger reliability problems
The poor reliability of public EV chargers is an industry-wide scandal. A year ago, when legacy automakers started adopting Tesla’s NACS charging system, many seemed to assume that this would soon solve all the problems. More sober observers told us that one of the main reasons Tesla’s Superchargers have been so reliable is that vehicles,… Read more »
AmpUp wins $1.7-million grant from state of Connecticut for EV charging management pilot
Charging software provider AmpUp has been awarded up to $1.7 million in funding from the state of Connecticut’s Innovative Energy Solutions program for a charging management pilot. The goal of the project is to provide grid operators with a scalable solution to balance energy demand during peak periods by decreasing load at EV charging stations…. Read more »

Inventec and Renesas jointly develop proof of concept for EV-connected gateways
Taiwanese computer server manufacturer Inventec and Japanese semiconductor supplier Renesas Electronics have established a partnership to build automotive-grade gateway solutions for EVs. The companies will develop a proof of concept for connected gateways based on the R-Car system-on-chip (SoC) from Renesas. Under the deal, Renesas will supply Inventec with R-Car SoCs, analog and power products,… Read more »
EV charging is changing, Part 2: No, NACS is not today’s Tesla connector
Part 1: How automakers’ disappointment in Electrify America drove them into Tesla’s arms Part 3: Why Tesla’s NACS is unlikely to kill CCS Part 4: Behind the scenes as seven automakers counter Tesla’s Superchargers EV charging is changing, but much remains to be settled A flurry of news over less than a year permanently altered… Read more »
EV charger connectivity: The benefits of 4G cellular connectivity
Sponsored by Legrand. As the world shifts towards electric vehicles (EVs), investments in EV charger infrastructure must follow suit. Current research predicts that 54% of new car sales and 33% of the global fleet will be electric by 2040. With this rapid adoption of EVs on a global scale, there is an increasing demand for… Read more »
TE Connectivity develops HIVONEX connector and PowerTube charging solutions for EVs
TE Connectivity, a connectivity and sensor manufacturer, has developed connector and charging solutions for the EV transition. The HIVONEX range offers modular, scalable products for harsh industrial and commercial vehicle settings and includes the new PowerTube Connector Series for large electrical loads such as those in trucks, buses, and construction and agricultural vehicles.

ABB introduces range of hinged high-voltage connector backshells for heavy-duty EVs
Cable-to-connector stability is critical to the operation of any EV. Heavy-duty EV wiring is particularly vulnerable to high engine temperatures, strain, abrasion, vibration, ingress and corrosion. To protect and stabilize these connections, ABB Installation Products has introduced a full range of hinged high-voltage connector backshells. ABB’s new Harnessflex EVO Connector Interfaces are part of a… Read more »
