Electric cars are usually sold with numbers. Range, battery size, charging speed and horsepower dominate the conversation, while the ownership detail that matters most is often treated like an accessory. After spending time with a Volkswagen ID. Buzz and a Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, I came away convinced that the most important EV […]
he Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58) established two federal programs to support the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure: the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) grant program. The IIJA centralized and expanded federal efforts to build EV charging infrastructure by allocating $7.5 billion in […]
According to a news release, the ChargePoint Level-3 DC chargers are set to be fully operational at the Creek Travel Store, located at 4740 Jack Springs Road, in early March 2026. The three universal chargers, installed by Optimus Energy Solutions, will be able to charge up to six cars at the same time, adding a […]
One of the promising opportunities offered by AI to support the decarbonization of electricity grids is to align demand with low-carbon supply. We evaluated the effects of one of the world’s largest AI managed EV charging tariffs (a retail electricity pricing plan) using a large-scale natural field experiment. The tariff dynamically controlled vehicle charging to […]
Toyota revealed a fully electric version of its best-selling pickup truck for the first time. The new EV pickup will begin rolling out next month, but those in the US may miss out. The electric pickup features a new “Tough and Agile” design with slim new LED headlights linked by a light bar that includes […]
The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) raises new challenges for electricity systems. We implement a field experiment to assess the effect of time-of-use (TOU) pricing and managed charging on EV charging behavior. We find that while TOU pricing is effective at shifting EV charging into offpeak hours, it unintentionally induces new and larger “shadow peaks” […]
