Between charging networks and automakers, there's currently an overload of charging apps, all trying to do variations of the same thing: Getting you to the fastest available chargers, along your route, and being functional inside and outside the car. A major obstacle preventing the rise of one app to rule them all is the growing divide between... 
The idea of using coordinated electric-car charging to stabilize the grid has been discussed for years, but is still in early stages of development. California regulators now hope to bring so-called "vehicle-to-grid" (V2G) technology into focus. V2G requires cars that can discharge power back into the grid, something that isn't widely available...

The automaker recently stopped sales of its Ford-branded home charger. It says that the unit, called the Ford Connected Charge Station, can record a fault signal that halts and... 
Hyundai has created a fast-charging template for electric cars with a name that evokes racing and a look that evokes current gas stations. The automaker plans to open 12 fast-charging sites under the E-Pit banner—with 72 individual plugs—at highway rest stops in South Korea beginning in April, with eight more sites totaling 48 plugs...

The charging network EVgo on Thursday announced a partnership that will install publicly accessible EV fast-charging stations at Meijer supercenter locations in the Midwest. Although EVgo didn’t say exactly how many stations the partnership will include, it plans to start installing them in summer 2021. At present, the charging provider has... 
DC fast charging can make owning an electric car more convenient, but the cost of using it can be substantially higher than slower Level 2 AC charging. A new Massachusetts state law aims to address one of the main reasons why. It's not so much the hardware cost or the siting, but the so-called "demand charges"—premiums charged by utilities... 
A new J.D. Power study once again confirmed that most electric-car drivers rely primarily on home charging, while also offering some insight into customer satisfaction with different types of charging equipment. Of EV owners surveyed, 88% said they charged their cars at home "often" or "always," according to the inaugural J.D. Power U.S. Electric... 
Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell will buy charging-infrastructure Ubitricity, a German company that specializes in streetside charging for electric cars. Ubitricity is probably best known for building charging stations into lampposts, including a project in the United Kingdom that added 24 charging stations along section of street in London. The...
