Nevada's Bumpy Road to EV Charging Infrastructure Nevada’s journey to build out its electric vehicle (EV) charging network has been slow and disjointed, according to a report by The Nevada Independent. Despite ambitious plans and significant funding, the state has struggled to create a comprehensive EV charging network, leaving drivers facing “range anxiety” on long trips. From Vision to Reality: The Electric Highway That Wasn’t In 2016, then-Governor Brian Sandoval unveiled Nevada’s first state-sponsored EV charging station, dubbing U.S. Highway 95 the “first electric highway in the United States.” But the reality didn’t match the hype. The Ford Focus EV used in the demonstration had to be […] by Haye Kesteloo #ev #EPA #Ford #Mexico #Nevada #SEC #Superchargernetwork #Tesla #UnitedStates

ElectricDrives reports on the State of Illinois, and its roll out of funding for EV charging as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Programme (NEVI) programe. The headlines: - Illinois continues its US-leading push for electric vehicles under its National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Programme (NEVI). - The state’s Department of Transportation has opened the first round of funding opportunities to build charging stations in the region. - This funding, worth $50 million, will be enough to open 46 charging hubs across the state.

California installed 24,202 electric-vehicle chargers in the first half of 2024, bringing the total to more than 150,000. California has surpassed 150,000 public and shared private chargers installed statewide, including 137,648 “Level 2” chargers and 14,708 fast chargers. In addition to the public network, the state estimates that more than 500,000 private home chargers are installed across the state. Of the 48,000 chargers added to the data set since the end of 2023, 24,202 new chargers were installed in the first half of 2024. The remaining 23,142 chargers were installed before 2024 and identified through new data sources, according to the California Energy Commission (CEC). This announcement by Governor Gavin Newsom comes weeks after California posted its second- highest ever market share in zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales. “When it comes to zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, California has no peers,” said Newsom. “The state is all-in on clean transportation, dedicating unprecedented investments to supercharge our transition. We’re building a bigger, better charging network – faster.” The CEC approved more than $1 billion in funding this year for EV charging and hydrogen refueling projects for cars, trucks, and buses, including $390 million for electric school bus charging. The state is also expected to receive more than $380 million from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for building out chargers.

Navigating the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) requires a delicate balance of public policy and private sector innovation. While regulations aim to hasten EV adoption, bureaucratic hurdles often slow infrastructure development. As seen in the slow rollout of federally-funded charging stations, effective management and coordination are critical to meeting EV market demands.

If the UK wants to successfully transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, comprehensive and reliable charging infrastructure and supply chains are paramount. Charging At Home discusses the issues facing EV charging infrastructure and supply chains in the UK and the steps that must be taken to overcome them. #ElectricVehicles #ChargingInfrastructure #EVs #EvCharging https://bit.ly/3TCPUqQ

Billions of dollars in funding have been given to companies to build a solid electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the country, however, progress is slow. Recently, the Federal Highway Administration published a request for information regarding electric truck charging infrastructure and technology. The information gathered is supposed to help the federal government in deciding on the deployment of a nationwide charging network. The government wants to hear opinions from electric truck manufacturers, fleet operators, drivers, charging station operators, and electric utilities to make sure everyone's needs and problems are addressed. The FHWA wants feedback on the following categories: • Unique electric vehicle charger and station needs • Vehicle charging patterns • Electric truck charger technology and standardization • Workforce, supply chain, and manufacturing to support charging of electric trucks Another main concern is the potential overcrowding of truck parking with the electric chargers and their positioning, as the VP of OOIDA - Lewie Pugh - has publicly expressed himself on the issue. Here are some of the questions the FHWA wants to get feedback on: • What would be an appropriate maximum distance between electric truck public charging stations along/from an interstate highway? • What are the typical mileage ranges of electric trucks? • What is the expectation for charging and/or dwell times, and how does that vary by use (e.g., local vs. long-haul) or other factors? • What actions are being taken by fleet owners/operators to ensure that necessary power is available in charging locations? Do you think we'll see a significant change in the EV charger infrastructure in the next 2 years, or will it take much longer to create a solid plan?

Draft recommendations for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure have been produced by the Ministry of Power. #ev #emobility #evcharging #evcharger #evcharginginfrastructure #evchargingstation

I am excited to share with you an article discussing the critical need for large-scale Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) rollouts across the UK. The updated zero-emission vehicle #ZEV mandate has positioned the UK as a global leader in the switch to Electric Vehicles (EVs) to achieve the 2050 Net Zero target. With Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) uptake increasing by 10.7%, reaching nearly 17% market share, the demand for public charging infrastructure is more pressing than ever. A mix of standard, fast, and rapid charge points is essential to meet the diverse needs of EV drivers and alleviate one of the main barriers to EV adoption among UK residents. Starting with on-street charging is crucial to support drivers without off-street parking. This approach promotes equity and inclusivity in EV charging accessibility, a vital aspect highlighted in a recent study shared in the article linked below. Furthermore, funding plays a significant role in developing public EV infrastructure, with initiatives like the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Scheme #LEVI offering opportunities to secure funding for large-scale EV charging projects. If you are interested in learning more about LEVI or alternative funding options like ubitricity’s fully funded offer, please reach out.
