EcoG helps EVSE manufacturers streamline the process of bringing new products to market
Enabling the next phase of EV charging station manufacturing. We tech writers often refer to “ecosystems,” and biologists may shake their heads at our appropriation of the term, but the analogy is an apt one in many ways. A biological ecosystem has its charismatic megafauna (elephants, lions, whales), but it couldn’t function without its less-glamorous… Read more »

Nowadays, the focus is increasingly on the energy that these nifty gadgets require. The home… 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 »
