It’s about time for one of the charging networks to welcome Tesla drivers with open arms. And that’s exactly what EVgo is doing, with an announcement made Thursday. EVgo announced the availability of Tesla connectors now at five initial San Francisco locations, at Whole Foods Markets. After rollout in San Francisco at a total of seven... 
Up until now, most of the high-power DC fast chargers that Electrify America has installed for electric-car drivers have been at Walmart stores and big shopping centers. But soon the charging network will look to a new venue: the bank. By the end of 2020, Electrify America will make available about 40 DC fast-charging stations (locations), with a... 
The home base for the U.S. auto industry has long been downtown Detroit. And as much as that industry has wanted to talk the talk about electrification the past several year, it hasn’t walked the walk in its home turf. Detroit almost made it to the end of the decade without a single DC fast charger. Until recently—like just three... 
Before Tesla actually entered China, the electric automaker Nio had built a reputation as the Tesla of China, for good reason: It built an extensive network of DC fast chargers and energy services—to the degree that, just as with Tesla and its Supercharger network, the company seemed to be building something that other automakers might be... 
Porsche last month rolled out the Taycan electric car in Japan for the first time, with a charging demonstration in cooperation with the charging-hardware provider ABB. The demonstration charger featured with the Taycan, which will have Japan’s ubiquitous CHAdeMO charge port when it’s for sale in the country, was said to be capable of... 
It costs four to six times as much to install EV spaces into a building as a stand-alone retrofit as it does to just build the spaces as part of new building construction or major alterations. That’s among the findings of a paper released earlier this fall, prepared by Energy Solutions for Tesla, ChargePoint, and the California Electric... 
When Porsche developed its Taycan electric car on 800-volt systems, it had to go the expensive route—designing from scratch many components that EV makers might otherwise secure from suppliers. That’s because while a robust supply network exists by now for 400-volt systems, the idea that 800V might be the future is just starting to be... 
Ford is readying its upcoming widely available, Mustang-inspired, performance-oriented all-electric vehicle. A big part of that rollout will be making sure owners have places to charge. With an announcement Thursday morning, that network is starting to take form—in what Ford calls “North America’s largest electric vehicle... 
As Volvo sees it, plug-in hybrids are the path toward achieving one of its high-aiming carbon-reduction goals—making fully electric cars half of its sales by 2025. To do so, the automaker plans to nudge its portion of PHEVs in the U.S. over the next 16 months, to 20 percent, up from about 4 percent today. But it also knows that plug-in... 
As electric-car technology matures, and the people driving EVs aren’t all patient, resourceful early-adopter types, the issues that sour people on the electric experience are evolving, too. Today the deal-breaker is increasingly likely to be the lack of charging infrastructure rather than rated range—and the idea of range anxiety is...
