🚛⚡ CharIN submits strategic comments to shape the future of Medium - and Heavy - Duty EV charging infrastructure to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) In November, we provided detailed feedback to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, addressing key infrastructure requirements for Medium - and Heavy - Duty EVs. Our recommendations focus on: ✅ The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for high-power, interoperable charging ✅ Scalable site design and grid integration ✅ Safety, standardization, and utility coordination We aim to drive the transition to a reliable, future-ready charging network for Medium - and Heavy - Duty EVs. 🔗 Learn more or download the press release: https://lnkd.in/dYbX9_gK #CharIN #Emobility #MegawattChargingSystem #EVInfrastructure

Have you heard about the change coming to the EV charging infrastructure? 🔋 Connected Kerb is leading the charge with nationwide smart charging rollout, offering cheaper electricity rates at public charge points. By scheduling charging during off-peak hours, drivers can save up to £222 annually while reducing grid pressure. ⚡️ Read all about it in our latest blog 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewzYRRZV #charging #electricvehicle #ev #infrastructure #industrynews

Now Accepting Registrations: Louisiana Charging Smart Spring Cohort Charging Smart is a structured technical assistance and designation program designed to support local governments in setting and achieving equitable Electric Vehcile (EV) readiness goals. Our technical assistance is available at no cost and provides tools for communities to streamline planning, permitting, and inspections to develop EV infrastructure and support e-mobility and fleet operations. Sign up today: https://lnkd.in/esjjzYj6 On March 6, 2025, Louisiana Clean Fuels is launching its Spring Cohort of communities in Louisiana which will meet monthly on the 1st Thursday of the month to receive free technical support and work towards Charging Smart designation. We recognize that integrating new technologies at the city level can be complex. That’s why Charging Smart provides comprehensive support, including technical assistance, best practices, and access to a network of industry experts tailored to meet the specific needs of municipalities. #evse #chargingsmart #electricvehicles #planning #permitting

𝟭𝘀𝘁 “𝗩𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 & 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺” aimed to bring together the various players in the charging chain (grid operators, charging station operators, vehicle and battery experts, etc.) to discuss important issues. 🚗🔋 Short teaser presentations were given by selected experts on the topics of “#grid”, “#charging infrastructure” and “#V2X research”, each followed by a lively discussion in a fishbowl format. 🌍🤝 This enabled the "Vehicle & Grid Forum" to develop a common understanding of future problems within a heterogeneous group. 📄🌐 The results of these discussions will be published on the website in the upcoming days: https://lnkd.in/dy5GDv9R 🔄🗣️ The forum is planned as an annual event, whereby the format, which focuses on extremely open discussions, is to be retained. 🗓 #VehicleGridForum #EVCharging #SmartGrid #OpenDiscussion #SustainableFuture #CleanEnergy

🙏 thank you to everyone who has downloaded our report so far and for the feedback received to date. A few recurring queries that we have received: 1️⃣ The data included within the report is based on planning applications. Therefore, if a site does not require planning (e.g. the proposed charger falls within permitted development rights), it is not captured within the report. This is most likely to apply to slow and fast charger installations due to the charger size and often there is no requirement for additional supporting infrastructure (e.g. new substations, etc.). 2️⃣ Planning applications that were for sites not intended for public EV charging have not been included within the data set (e.g. private depots, residential developments, etc.). 3️⃣ The report is limited to just Scotland - if you are interested in other parts of the UK, please let me know and I'm sure we can gather the relevant data. #EVcharging #electricvehicles

Communities implementing #EVcharging want a tool to help them navigate their infrastructure projects. Developed alongside the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, the Public EV Charging Infrastructure Playbook helps communities plan and build the infrastructure to support #EV charging. The Playbook contains interactive modules that can be tailored to each community’s unique needs, no matter where they’re at in the process. https://bit.ly/3YO9vpo

Unlocking the Power of Kinetics: How the ZOOZTER™-100 Flywheel Transforms EV Charging Ever wondered how ZOOZ’s kinetic flywheel delivers a significant power boost for 15 minutes? Meet the three-phase cycle that are reshaping ultra-fast EV charging: ·      Charging Phase: Electrical energy from the grid accelerates the flywheel to a mind-blowing 17,000 RPM, storing power as kinetic energy. ·      Levitating Phase: Reached optimal speed? The flywheel levitates in a vacuum, keeping the energy ready for the next EV. ·      Discharging Phase: When an EV plugs in, the flywheel decelerates, converting kinetic energy back into electricity to deliver a rapid power boost. 💡 By seamlessly cycling through these states, the ZOOZTER™-100 provides peak power to EV stations precisely when it’s needed, all while minimizing grid strain. Curious how this unique tech can redefine EV infrastructure? 🚗⚡Download our Whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/dyuN7vz5 #EVCharging

As we reflect on the excitement from ACT, one recurring topic has emerged to the forefront: if we want to electrify, we must solve the power problem. We heard from fleets, charging depot developers, charging station operators, and more about their struggles to source power for new EV charging stations. Between grid upgrades and interconnection permitting, some are waiting years for the grid to be able to supply the power needed for new infrastructure development. We talked through different strategies and existing options, and it became clear that the solutions of today just won't cut it. We need disruptive innovation to rethink the way power is used if we want to enable and accelerate our electrification journey. DG Matrix is committed to helping companies solve the power problem with highly-differentiated technology that revolutionizes how we think about our power systems. Keep an eye out for more content this week on approaches to mitigating and solving the power problem to drive electrification forward. #griddemand #electrification #grid #electricitygrid #utilitygrid #evcharging #electricvehicles #energy #cleanenergy #ders #microgrids

At LCP Delta we have just released our latest report covering the ‘New Frontier’ in EV charging; Bi-Directional Charging. Faster and wider adoption seems to be following the usual ‘chicken and egg’ route. The LCP Delta EV team of expert researchers and advisors have a good insight into which way the industry is heading and what is the best way forward for companies to capitalise on this opportunity..as we bring together other aspects of the ‘eco-system’ into play !! #bidi #ev #evcharging #greentransition
