On June 30, 2026, the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit — the tax credit that gave US buyers up to $1,000 back on a home EV charger, and businesses up to 30% back under Section 30C — expired under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For years, that federal credit was the he...
If you've been shopping for EV charging equipment for the US or Canadian market, you've probably run into an alphabet soup of marks: CSA, UL, ETL, FCC, IC, NTEP, CTEP. Some sound interchangeable. Some aren't. And almost none of the product spec sheets explain which ones ...
For years, the EV charging conversation has centered on charging speed, network coverage, and uptime. But a quieter problem has been building beneath the surface — literally lying on the ground at charging stations around the world: EV charging cable management. As overseas charging networks scal...
If the electrification of passenger vehicles represents the “zero-to-one” transition for mass adoption, then the electrification of logistics and heavy-duty fleets is a “deep-water” challenge focused on energy efficiency.
With the global push toward net-zero logistics, an ...
The Accessibility Gap in EV Charging Infrastructure
The rapid expansion of public EV charging networks has become a defining feature of transportation electrification.
In the UK alone, public charging infrastructure has surpassed 80,000 charge points, while similar deployment targets are a...
As Commercial EV Charging Scales, a New Challenge Is Emerging
The conversation around commercial EV charging infrastructure has changed dramatically over the past few years.
Not long ago, operators were primarily concerned with one question: How much charging power can a site deliver?
Today, the ...
1. Europe’s EV Charging Market: Regulations Driving Reliability and Convenience
