Have you heard the news? The number of EV charging ports across the U.S. has increased by 12,000 in the last three months!📈 According to the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, the number of public chargers has doubled in the last four years, marking an exciting time for the EV charging market. We’re proud to do our part to support that growth at Liberty Plugins with our CSMS solutions currently deployed at thousands of customer-owned Level-2 ports across North America.

Florida - A Growing EV Market Despite Challenges 🚗⚡ By the end of 2023, Florida had a remarkable milestone—home to about 232,000 electric vehicles, making it the second-biggest EV market in the U.S. Factors such as low electricity costs and abundant sunlight have driven this growth, hailed as "a beacon of progress" by the Electrification Coalition. The NEVI program, a $5 billion initiative for DC fast charging, is designed to bolster EV infrastructure across the U.S. However, Florida has not distributed its allocated $198 million federal funding for chargers yet. While other states speed ahead, it raises questions about missed opportunities for Florida's EV market. We believe in a balanced approach, integrating sustainable innovation while upholding consumer choice. Every EV driver in Florida deserves accessible and efficient charging facilities.

The number of EV charging stations has more than doubled since 2020 with over 95% of Americans living in a county with atleast one public charging stations. A new report by Pew Research Center dives deep into the current landscape and future developments in EV infrastructure. Read the report: https://hubs.ly/Q02zpcgS0

Could adding an #EV charger in your neighborhood overwhelm the local grid infrastructure? Increasingly, the answer is YES. As we increase #electrification, we also have to ensure adequate grid upgrades to meet the growing loads. The current process is slow and daunting. Here's some context about how big the problem is (drawing from the Kevala study of electrification and DERs done for the California Public Utilities Commission) and the personal story of how this impacted a friend's home project. And, of course, a few tips for those looking to electrify! It's been a while since I wrote a new article. Please share your feedback or questions! https://lnkd.in/gy-TFcJn

Q4 2024 update: 12,000 more US EV charging ports in 3 months Photo: Kentucky Transportation Cabinet The US Joint Office of Energy and Transportation’s Q4 2024 update reports an increase of around 12,000 EV charging ports in the last three months – here’s the lowdown. That means the US now has a total of nearly 204,000 Level 2 and DC fast charging ports in its national network since https://lnkd.in/gTK8HPvR

Updated forecasts of vehicle charging needs, grid impacts and costs for all vehicle segments was released alongside the federal government’s ZEVIP announcement. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure for Canada report outlines a baseline scenario that calls for a need of 234,500 public charging ports (22,000 DCFC + 212,500 L2 chargers) by 2030.  https://lnkd.in/gsGh5vuX  Elocity #EV #EVcharger

As we strive to enhance the EV charging experience, a key challenges emerge: How high does the utilization rate of a portfolio of public charging stations have to be to justify maintenance costs? And, even more critically, to what extent does charger reliability determine usage? #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #ChargingInfrastructure #EVs https://lnkd.in/eDKzC5nn

Colorado is investing $21 million to expand its electric vehicle charging infrastructure, aiming to alleviate "range anxiety" and boost EV adoption. The investment will fund the installation of 290 new charging ports across 46 sites, increasing the state's public fast chargers by nearly 30%. The move comes as EV sales have slowed due to factors like high prices and consumer apprehension about unfamiliar fueling systems. With over 100,000 EVs already registered in Colorado, officials believe the expanded charging network will meet growing demand. The funding, sourced from federal and state grants, prioritizes communities disproportionately affected by air pollution. Most of the new charging stations are expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

Through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, states across the country are receiving hundreds of millions of dollars to build out electric vehicle infrastructure. One of the biggest challenges in #EV infrastructure development is finding sites to locate chargers that don’t require expensive and time-consuming grid upgrades (especially for heavy-duty EV chargers, like those needed for trucks/shipping). California has public grid data (called Integration Capacity Analyses or ICAs) that can address this challenge by showing locations where chargers can be installed without requiring expensive and time-consuming grid upgrades. Unfortunately, delays and errors in the ICA data being published by the state’s investor-owned utilities are making it impossible to use for this purpose. An anticipated ruling from the California Public Utilities Commission could remedy the situation, and provide a model for other states with ambitious EV goals.
