EV Adoption

MAY 15, 2022

If we didn’t have enough hurdles to electric vehicle adoption in the US, one of the challenges that drives me absolutely bonkers is the confusing and inconsistent use of charging terminology. To scale up EV adoption we need to increase consumer awareness and understanding of the “electric refueling” process. But nobody else cares. .
