According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s 2024 Global EV Outlook, globally there are almost ten times as many private chargers as public ones, with the majority of current EV charging taking place at home. The availability of charging varies widely between regions - however in Canada 80% of EV owners have a home charger. Despite the recent headlines about the Tesla Supercharging layoffs and wider rollout of DC fast charging infrastructure, the reality is that most charging takes place on Level 2 chargers for vehicles parked at home, work, or other convenient locations. With the average vehicle parked for 95% of the time, most charging can easily take place at a much slower rate - meaning that low-cost Level 1 and Level 2 charging is a practical way to improve #EV adoption and usage around the world. https://lnkd.in/eK5Hgy47 #electricvehicles #charging

Exciting news for Canada's battery and electric vehicle ecosystem! Today's announcement of Honda's $15 billion EV and battery plant in Ontario is further proof that Canada is well positioned to be at the forefront of manufacturing and innovation in the ZEV transition. I attended today's session, "Emerging Battery Ecosystems in Canada & the UK" hosted by Accelerate-Accélérer and Innovate UK, where experts discussed battery innovation and production ecosystems in both nations. Canada has untapped potential with abundant natural resources and industry R&D, making it a prime location for sustainable battery and EV manufacturing, especially with its clean hydro-electricity. We will surely see more exciting announcements like Honda's - the future of electric mobility in Canada looks bright! #thefutureiselectric #emobility #battery

India's EV plans to get a policy boost as govt may fast-track 3 big-ticket schemes India's electric vehicle (EV) sector is set for a policy boost as the government plans to fast-track three key schemes within its first hundred days. These include allocating 10 GWh capacity under the PLI ACC for local production of advanced batteries and introducing a payment security mechanism to support the wider adoption of electric buses. Additionally, FAME 3, aimed at incentivizing EV adoption with a US$ 1.2 billion (Rs. 10,000 crore) budget, will be expedited. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/grs4HRAY

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in British Columbia is soaring, with EV sales poised to surpass those of traditional internal combustion engine cars. Despite this rapid growth, a significant challenge remains: many EV drivers lack access to home charging options. As a result, they increasingly seek convenient charging solutions at their workplaces and the commercial sites they visit.

Here are some key takeaway from various panel discussions held at Electric Autonomy's 2024 EV & Charging expo in Canada: ➡ Grid capacity constraints and delays in obtaining utility permits are the biggest bottleneck today for commercial fleet electrification. Wait-times are as long as 3 years to energize the infrastructure. Deploying chargers at distribution centres is disrupting daily operations significantly. One grocery retailer had to shut down their refrigerated warehouse multiple times just to assess the electrical panels. ➡Currently, using public charging networks for on-route fleet charging is a challenge because of technical integration complexity, payment reconciliation issues, and a lack of unified customer support. "Charging passport" solutions aim to integrate various public charging networks under one platform. ➡The smooth, quiet EV experience is encouraging aging drivers to delay retirement, increasing availability. Driver training has become a priority - a seasoned driver can reduce energy costs by up to 20% through regenerative braking. ➡Unlike gas, EV drivers aren't price sensitive - they're more concerned with availability, charging speed, and the overall experience when picking a charging station. They also prefer busy locations with ample lighting for safety reasons. ➡Support for electrification is coming from indirect entities like hotels located near transport corridors where guests benefit from the quieter electric trucks. ➡Big box retail stores make ideal locations for public EV charging hubs, attracting new customers whose dwell times align with typical shopping duration. The process of land acquisition has gotten more stringent in the last few years with more regulations in place, slowing down speed of deployment. Companies like Canadian Tire are treating charging stations as part of their real-estate strategy and less a “added amenity” project ➡Charging station designers learn from hotels and airports where people dwell longer, as EV drivers walk pets, go for a run, or socialize - very unusual activities at gas stations. Vacationers are seeing charging sessions at part of their overall travelling experience and companies need to cater to that expectation. At the same time, it is also critical to offer amenities that are universally appealing to all categories of customers. ➡EV adoption is 5X higher among rideshare drivers versus personal vehicles, with a 4X emission savings when rideshare owners go electric due to high mileage. Still, upfront costs and limited public charging remain barriers, hitting the rideshare owner demographic hard. Affordable incentives and lower charging rates for those w/o home charging will increase adoption. ➡For condos, properly sizing transformers is a challenge currently, with dynamic load balancing software a workaround for grid capacity issues. Pre-wiring new properties avoids costly future retrofitting. #ev #evcharging #fleetelectrification #electricvehicle
