The EU’s Grid Action Plan demonstrates that nearly €600bn of grid infrastructure investment will be needed to meet climate change targets by 2030, highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades. In response to this pressing challenge, heavy-duty EV charging company Milence has published a comprehensive White Paper outlining key grid strategies to support the rapidly growing market for electrified heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), demonstrating that future-proofing Europe’s grid is possible.

The US is currently well short of meeting government targets for the rollout of EV charging infrastructure. So what barriers need to be removed to accelerate the process? A panel discussion at the recent EV Charging Summit and Expo gave some major indications.

As EV sales surge, governments and charging infrastructure providers worldwide are working together to accelerate the construction of charging facilities.

A new report from Guidehouse Insights provides an overview of the mobile EV charger market, including charging vehicles, portable chargers, and temporary chargers.

A study by EV charging software provider Techniche into why EV chargers break down has found that 30% of all charger breakdowns require an engineer visit to fix them.

Electrification of cars, buses, and trucks drastically reduces CO2 emissions at the point of use compared to a diesel or petrol alternative, and research company IDTechEX predicts that over 180 million electric vehicles to be sold annually by 2044.

EVs are surging in popularity, but their growing numbers strain ageing electricity grids. This creates a need for off-grid charging solutions, explored in IDTechEx's new report.

There is an "alarming gap" between the current availability of public charging points for electric cars in the EU and what will be needed in reality to meet CO2-reduction targets.

Based on its ongoing research into the EV charging market, IDTechEx estimates that 222 million chargers will be needed by 2034 to support the growing global EV fleet.

While the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles faces a myriad of growing pains, home charging offers a much more satisfying experience for owners.
