“The Tesla charging experience — the network that they’ve built, is unquestionably the best there is.” Kevin Schwain, EnergyHub's Senior Director of EV Strategy, talked with POLITICO for today's article on the NACS/CCS standards debate and the effort to accelerate transportation electrification via massive public infrastructure investment. #transportationelectrification #EV #charginginfrastructure

Texas, the largest beneficiary of a $5 billion federal initiative meant to electrify U.S. highways, approved a plan requiring companies to integrate Tesla's tech into EV charging stations.

As #ElectricVehicle (EV) adoption surges, there is a pressing need for standardized charging systems to ensure compatibility and accessibility.

To be successful in the transition to Electric, partnerships are key. This article not only acknowledges the partnership but also the challenges consumers face with charging. This space is evolving and there are many charging companies promoting their charge point of sale quantity of locations, but few are acknowledging the uptime and quality of service as well as the compatibility to vehicles from these chargers. This is one of the few articles that references the “uptime” of charging.

MyPOV: without adequate charging EVs are doomed to failure. ⁦‪Tesla Turmoil Means Make-or-Break for EV Charging

The Biden Administration of course prefers combined charging system (CCS) as a minimum to receive federal funds, but Tesla's superchargers account for about 60% of the total number of fast chargers in the United States. ChargePoint, ABB and others are asking for more time to "properly standardize, test, and certify the safety and interoperability of Tesla connectors across the industry". Standards are needed to ensure wide scale adoption of EV's. States like Texas are (and should be) focused on serving the existing community of EV drivers. Tesla is reaping the benefits of being first to market. This is the reward for years of being on the leading edge of EV technology and for leading the industry worldwide. #Tesla #evcharginginfrastructure #evcharging #electricvehicles #electrification #charginginfrastructure #chargingstations https://lnkd.in/gMjZHrGf

Greater reliability of publicly funded #evcharging infrastructure is the clear preference in poll. UK set 99% (based on average of operator’s network for chargers 50kw and above with penalties of £10,000) however Australia has proposed 98% reliability standard, unclear on penalties etc. Is Australia setting the new reliability standard too low? Tesla is at 99.95% (2022) but others have struggled to achieve 98% (noting legacy issues with first gen chargers and out of warranty etc). #evcharging #EVInfrastructure #evcharginginfrastructure #electricvehicles
