https://lnkd.in/e8qkYbri.... dope classic, but did you notice the free charging and cordless EV charger that requires that EV owners supply their own charging cables @ 4:10-4:40. intriguing, maybe a solution to charger vandalism and copper wire theft, until wireless charging infrastructure is fully feasible.

This is progress in EV adoption!!

Are you an #EVowner? Here's interesting reading.... "Sun Country Highway is a private network that was founded in Saskatchewan. Kent Rathwell, president and founder of the Sun Country Highway network, has made it a goal to electrify Canada’s roads and highways. With more than 1000 free level 2 charging stations, the network is allowing electric vehicle drivers to travel from one coast to the other. For example, the province of Prince Edward Island has completely electrified its road network with Sun Country Highway level 2 charging stations. Furthermore, New Brunswick also has free charging stations every 80 kilometres throughout the entire province. Today, we can also find Sun Country Highway charging stations in the United States. All of them are equipped with a SAE J1772 connector. Use ChargeHub’s charging station map to plan out your next trip with your electric vehicle, and find out where all of Sun Country Highway’s free level 2 charging stations are located. With the filter tool available on the ChargeHub map, you can add specifications to your search, such as the name of a network, to easily find the charging stations you are looking for." If this is the case in #Canada, then WHY do we have commercial #EVcharging stations instead of #freeEVcharging stations? I know the #americanGreed of #CEOs is perhaps greater than Canadian companies, but wouldn't this be nice in the #USA? Yea, sure, like #CEOs in the USA would give us ANYTHiNG free... #USAinfrastructure #EVinfrastructure #EVfuture #WHYnotinTheUSA? #FREEevChargers

There’s been a lot of bad press recently on the apparent inadequacy of the UK’s EV charging infrastructure. How justified is this criticism? I took delivery this week of a new Electric Vehicle, having become a beneficiary of #Corgin’s current push towards cleaner, greener #businesstravel. So today was my first ever #netzero sales outing. It was a marathon 465-mile round trip, visiting customers in Suffolk and Essex. Here’s how it went: 1. Having left home with a full charge (300-mile range), I'd run it down to 26% by mid-morning, so stopped at a Shell garage near Ipswich that I’d identified beforehand as having good charging facilities. On arrival, the entrance was coned off: the whole site was suffering a power failure. Good start (not). 👎 2. After identifying another location nearby by means of the excellent #ZapMap app, I got charged up to 80%, which took 25 minutes and cost me £40. I had plenty of work to do during that time, so a very efficient pit-stop. 👍👍👍 3. Coming back up the M1 this afternoon, realised I wasn’t going to have quite enough charge to get home, so stopped at Toddington Services to get a small top-up. Tried two different stations; both malfunctioned on me. The only thing that received a recharge was me (thanks, #Costa). 👎👎 4. Stopped again at Watford Gap, further up the M1. I was in and out within 5 minutes, having topped up with enough miles to get home, for £7.60. 👍👍👍 Conclusion? Based on today’s experience, I can overlook the minor blips as ‘unlucky’ and am very happy to have consigned diesel to my personal motoring history! Hopefully this helps some of the other EV-sceptics out there. ⚡😬 #electricvehicle #evcharging #sustainability

An interesting look at the benefits and challenges of being car-free or car-lite in Austin, where multi-modal infrastructure is in early stages: https://loom.ly/18W_X98

Good morning everyone. I know the debate has everyone doing the political dance this morning in all of the news feeds, if you want a little break from it, check out YouTuber Craig, known as "WheezyWaiter" and his family's down to earth non-EV industry/insiders take on 3yrs of owning an EV. Pros & Cons. SPOILER ALERT...His wife nails it with the line, "If we had half as many fast chargers as there are gas stations, we'd be set," during their conversation about planning for long distance driving. The take away...Charging infrastructure needs to increase, SPECIFICALLY, DC Quick Charging. #ev #electriccar #electricvehicles #chargingstations #chargers #dcquickcharging #quickchareing #quickcharge #infrastructure #quickcharginginfrastructure #charginginfrastructure #lithiumbatteries #solidstatebatteries #emobility #electricmobility #electrictrucks #electricmotorcycles #thefutureiselectric #automotive #automotiveindustry #cleantech #downtoearth #family #zerotolowmaintenance #vehicleownership #vehicleowners #evowners #evownership
