Unfortunately broken and unreliable EV chargers are not just one-off occurances. It is an issue plaguing the industry and negatively affecting the experience of EV drivers everywhere. SkillFusion is here to change that. https://lnkd.in/gwQ3SiXV Los Angeles Times #EVs #electrification #electricvehicles #charginginfrastructure #EVcharges #skilledlabor #EVSE

Interesting read by CalMatterson on the many big obstacles standing in the way of California's goal of one million EV chargers by 2030. California must build public EV charging stations at an unprecedented pace to support the expected 7 million electric cars by 2030. With only 80,000 public chargers currently, the state needs to install 129,000 new stations each year to reach its goal of one million chargers by 2030, and eventually 2.1 million by 2035! With any big Policy goals and mandates, implementation and roll-out at the local level is where the rubber meets the road. The state and local governments need billions in state, federal, and private investments, streamlined permitting processes, and major power grid upgrades to meet these hefty goals. Utility companies are already feeling the stretch to meet the demand of the exponential increase in power necessary to build up EV charging infrastructure. Finally, consumers and commuters like myself are left with many questions and concerns about the driving range of EVs and the availability of a reliable charging network, especially in our most underserved communities without access to chargers at home. Interesting conversations happening at the local level, and many opportunities for innovative solutions and partnerships between the public and private sectors. #EV #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #PublicPrivatePartnerships #InfrastructureDevelopment #GreenEnergy #CleanTransportation https://lnkd.in/gCJftcZM

⚡Exciting news: the Biden-Harris Administration has announced a $521 million investment to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the U.S., doubling the number of publicly available EV chargers since the administration began. The funding will support projects in 29 states, eight Federally Recognized Tribes, and the District of Columbia, deploying over 9,200 EV charging ports. This initiative aims to build a reliable national network of EV chargers, supporting light to heavy-duty vehicles, and promoting EV adoption.

The U.S. has nearly 4 million EVs. If each EV discharged 5 kilowatts to the grid, it would add 20,000 megawatts, double the capacity of California's grid batteries built over the last decade. This resource could prevent blackouts during extreme heat waves like those in 2020. With Baltimore Gas and Electric proving technical feasibility, more utility programs should be launched. As more EVs enable bidirectionality, consumers need to overcome their fear of charge/discharge dynamics to reap the benefits.

EV owners are already using their vehicles to keep the lights on. Bidirectional charging, where EVs can send power back to homes and grids, is gaining attention, especially in places like California, where a new law could make this a standard feature in all new EVs. By integrating EVs into the grid, the state could save up to $1 billion annually while advancing its clean energy goals.

Here’s the how many public EV charging ports the US has now

It’s about time that we solve the grid challenges which is limiting the growth of EV market. Can the off-grid charging infrastructure be an alternative and affordable solution ?

🚗⚡ California needs a million EV charging stations — but that’s ‘unlikely’ and ‘unrealistic.’ As this article highlights, the demand for EV charging infrastructure is growing at a rapid pace, but meeting that demand through traditional public charging stations alone seems increasingly challenging. 🌍 At Blossom EV, we believe there’s another way: community-driven EV charging. By connecting EV owners who are willing to share their home chargers with others, we can create a reliable, scalable network that complements the existing infrastructure. It’s a solution built on collaboration and sustainability, and it’s already working in local communities. 💡 As the EV market grows, what other creative solutions do you think can help bridge the gap in charging infrastructure? Let’s discuss! 👇 #EVCharging #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #ElectricVehicles #Infrastructure #BlossomEV #FutureOfMobility #CleanEnergy #TechInnovation

🚗⚡️ The Challenges of EV Charging ⚡️🚗 As the world embraces electric vehicles, there are some key challenges to overcome when it comes to EV charging infrastructure. Analytics from J.D. Power note that 20% of all EV drivers reported visiting a charger that did not work or could not charge due to long lines. - The firm also noted this trend moving in the wrong direction. Here are the top hurdles noted in the study: 1️⃣ Inadequate Infrastructure: The current demand for EV charging does not economically justify rapid expansion, leading to insufficient charging stations. 2️⃣ Reliability and Speed: Some EV drivers face issues with charging reliability and speed, causing frustration and inconvenience. 3️⃣ Long Lines and Non-Functioning Chargers: Limited availability of charging stations can result in long queues, while non-functioning chargers add to the frustration. 4️⃣ California's Goal: California, a leader in EV adoption, has fallen behind its goal of 250,000 public chargers by 2025. 5️⃣ Chicken-and-Egg Problem: Without an expanded charging infrastructure, many people hesitate to buy EVs due to fears of being stranded. However, the infrastructure expansion is not economically justified without sufficient EV demand. ⚡️🌍 #EVCharging #GreenTransportation #Sustainability
