Developing standards for EV charging reliability

Charged EVs

This tragedy involves a cast of many players—automakers, charger manufacturers, network operators, electric utilities, and often a lot more—and all need to start reading from the same script if there’s to be any hope of a happy ending. We said, “Where does charging fail 80% of the time? Let’s figure those out. Let’s categorize them.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s. In other states, utilities submit a document where 90 percent of it is redacted. You need a bigger grid to supply that electricity. And Oregon is pretty transparent.
