Amazon finds utility approvals to be the biggest EV charging infrastructure bottleneck
Many fleets are going electric, but to the best of our knowledge, none are doing so on the same scale as Amazon. The company says it’s now operating some 10,000 of the delivery trucks that it co-developed with Rivian, and it hopes to roll out 100,000 electric trucks by 2030. Building the trucks appears to… Read more »

ChargeSafe aims to make UK public charging sites safer and more accessible
Among the many drawbacks of public charging sites is a perceived lack of security—a feeling familiar to anyone who’s had to use a charger located in a dimly-lit corner of a vast parking lot. SMS, a new UK-based charge point operator, recently published a white paper, “Powering up public EV charging,” that included the results… Read more »
Uptime requirements may not cure the epidemic of unreliable public EV charging
The doleful reliability performance of public EV charging infrastructure isn’t news to anyone, and charging providers and government regulators are working to identify the problems and address them. However, as Canary Media reports in the second installment of a three-part series on public charging, one of the metrics that the white hats are relying on… Read more »
