Mark Winn, head of EV strategy at charge point operator SMS, talks about power supply issues, the role of government and the private sector in hitting EV migration targets, and how his company’s experience in the power infrastructure sector can be an advantage in the EV charging space.

Andrew Kelley has noticed a red flag in the EV charging space. EV charging businesses often confuse “battery-integrated solutions” and “battery-buffered solutions.” While only a single word separates the two, this is not a tomayto-tomahto scenario.

A new high-power charging solution is required to meet the market need to charge electric heavy-duty vehicles in an acceptable amount of time.

Installation target achieved ahead of schedule, but the EV-heavy state is still well short of the charging infrastructure it needs

Shazan Siddiqi, senior technology analyst at IDTechEx, provides expert insight into the fast-evolving EV charging infrastructure landscape.

A TrendForce report on the “Development of Solid-State Batteries for NEVs” has news for the EV industry: Automakers are actively ramping up their investments and research into solid-state batteries, which are expected to enter mass production by 2030.

Those hesitant to put a toe in the EV market might reconsider now that a group of automakers plans to add 30,000 charging stations in North America.

Last week’s announcement that seven major automakers are partnering to build a new network of 30,000 EV chargers in North America by the end of the decade received plenty of attention. What are those in the industry saying now – after the dust has settled a bit?

With the installation of new charge points not keeping pace with the number of EVs on the road, improving the reliability of the existing charging network is even more critical. David Cornish, head of product at Techniche, tells EVC&I that charger reliability is well below requirements both in the UK and US.

A need for increased charging infrastructure remains a significant barrier to EV adoption.  To locate the optimum locations for new charging points, data about EV usage patterns is required, however, gathering this data has historically been challenging.
