Grabbing the prime real estate for electric truck charging hubs
Q&A with Zeem Solutions CEO Paul Gioupis. Charging-as-a-service is a hot business proposition these days, and for good reason. Electrifying a vehicle fleet is a complex undertaking that requires specialized skills and resources that most companies don’t have. It makes sense for organizations to focus on their core activities, so just as they outsource things… Read more »

How ridesharing can help solve the challenge of urban EV ownership
Q&A with Revel COO Paul Suhey. New York-based Revel is riding two timely trends. Because rideshare vehicles log so many miles, electrifying them can deliver outsize emissions reductions—and drivers for the likes of Lyft and Uber will need strategically located urban charging hubs. Meanwhile, millions of drivers in dense cities like New York live in… Read more »
Speed through regulatory challenges of connecting EVs and EVSE to the grid (Webinar)
The addition of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to the EV market adds an extra layer of complexity to the already diverse and constantly evolving global compliance requirements/standards for vehicle-grid integration (VGI). For example, OEMs in addition to complying with EV charging standards, now need to ensure compliance for connection and compatibility with local grids. This free webinar… Read more »
LEM’s DC meter enables EV fast charging station makers to accelerate deployment
Sponsored by LEM. The US-certified DCBM 400/600 meter takes EV fast charging to another level.By Mathieu Beguin, Global Product Manager at LEM. With transportation accounting for over 20% of global CO2 emissions in 2020 and 17% of all greenhouse gas emissions (according to Statista), decarbonization is essential in this sector. However, the massive challenge facing… Read more »
How charge management can reduce OpEx and CapEx for EV fleet projects
Q&A with The Mobility House Business Development Manager Sam Hill-Cristol If there’s one topic that everyone in the EV infrastructure field is talking about these days, it’s charge management. As organizations of all sizes electrify their vehicles, they often find that power consumption is a major constraint. Charging stations, especially those that serve large fleets… Read more »
CharIN praises final NEVI rules for supporting EV interoperability and open standards for charging
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has released the final National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Standards and Requirements rule, and so far it appears that there’s a lot to like in the 144-page tome. The document (which the White House described in slightly less verbose terms) contains not only some welcome standards aimed at improving the… Read more »
Typical peak charging power demands of large EV fleet projects
Fleet operators looking to electrify may experience a new form of “sticker shock” when they realize how much electrical power will be required to keep their vehicles running on schedule. For a fleet of any size, a charge management solution is a must to keep energy consumption under control. Charged asked Sam Hill-Cristol, Business Development… Read more »
Enphase Energy demonstrates bidirectional EV charger technology
Enphase Energy, a supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, has successfully demonstrated a bidirectional EV charger that enables vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality. It also allows energy generated from solar panels to be sent directly to the EV battery. The new product uses Enphase’s grid-forming IQ8 Microinverters and Ensemble energy management technology to… Read more »
