You’ve got questions, we’ve got your answers. Only a few years ago there were very little choices for electric vehicle charging equipment. When I got my MINI-E in 2009, BMW partnered with ClipperCreek to supply the home charging station, or as BMW called it, the “Wallbox” to charge the fleet of 450 MINI-Es in service […]

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved Electrify America’s second-cycle $200 million investment plan for zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and education programs.

White House Seeks To End EV Federal Tax Credit
Can’t say we’re surprised by this. After last week’s announcement by General Motors that they would be closing 5 plants and discontinuing some of their cars including the Chevy Volt, President Trump went to Twitter to respond to the news.

Probably not the car you were expecting. Volkswagen recently created a bit of stir when Bloomberg reported that the German auto manufacturer would be launching a $21,000 (18,000 euros) Tesla competitor.

Edmunds Compares Hyundai Kona Electric To Chevy Bolt
Both are winners, but only one can come out on top. Earlier this month we compared the Hyundai Kona Electric with the Chevy Bolt EV. After an extensive dive into the vehicle’s range, charging times, dashboards, cargo space, regenerative braking systems and fun-to-drive ratio we concluded that the new kid on the block, the Hyundai […]
Is Your Charging Station Ready For Winter?
