One of the keys to Tesla’s success in North America is the proliferation and availability of the Supercharger network. Without it, it’s unlikely Tesla would be a success. But one criticism of the network is that it’s only available to Tesla automobiles. While that makes sense — Tesla spent the money after all — there […]

President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda and Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal has outlined key points on the role battery-electric vehicles are going to play going forward. The president will sign an executive order setting a goal to make 50% of vehicles sold in 2030 consist of battery-electric, fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid models. This also […]

The Biden-Harris Administration announced earlier this year that it’s targeting 50 percent of vehicle sales in the U.S. to make up battery-electric models by 2030. Now, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will lay out the foundations for that to make EVs more viable and accessible to more consumers. Called the EV Charging Action Plan, this outlines […]

I know we’re just under three weeks into 2021, but this year feels like a really important one for electric propulsion. For at least the last five years I’ve been repeating this mantra over and over every January, but I swear there’s real change in the air right now. It’s not just hopeful optimism. There […]

The Biden administration has voiced their support for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework, which is the largest long-term investment for the United States’ transportation infrastructure. Sustainability is one of the biggest focuses and will make up $1.2 trillion in total to help transition to clean energy, minimize pollution, and create more jobs for economic growth. Part […]

Up until now, the United States government hasn’t appeared to be too proactive when it comes to investigating crashes of vehicles with advanced driver assist systems. That officially changed with a new order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The government agency is requiring automakers to submit detailed crash reports to the company, upon […]

A new study reveals that half of Americans see battery-electric vehicles as a solution to climate change. However, it also highlights the need for the charging infrastructure to expand. The study, which was conducted by Ipsos and EVBox, shows that current and potential EV drivers see climate change as an important part of their purchase […]

The United States has a commuting problem. Well, more realistically we have an infrastructure problem, a suburban sprawl problem, a city planning problem, a car dependency problem, a structural racism problem, and a micromanagement problem all rolled into one big commuting problem spaghetti. Electric cars alone will not solve our ills, we need to focus […]

Back in 1974 the federal government took drastic action to reduce energy consumption by the nation’s automobiles in the wake of the oil crisis. Price spikes and supply disruption saw the passage of the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act, which prohibited drivers from exceeding 55 miles per hour on any American road. For twenty-one years […]

The Biden administration has embraced Senator Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) idea of paying people to scrap old vehicles and buy new electric ones instead.  You might remember the Obama-era days of Cash for Clunkers, a federal scheme launched during the Great Recession of 2009 as an attempt to stimulate the economy by spurring new vehicle sales.
