As electric car sales pick up pace far from the U.S. coasts, a wave of new fast-charging stations is coming online from the Rust Belt down to the Deep South.

At U.S. public stations promising EV charging speeds of 100 kilowatts or higher, the average delivered charge was only 52 kW in 2022.

America’s EV charger deserts continued to vanish in the second quarter, as a motley array of networks switched on 704 new, public fast-charging stations, an increase of 9% in three months,

Automakers may be pumping the brakes on EV production in the U.S., but charging challenges — traditionally a major hurdle to adoption — are vanishing at a rapid clip.

All over the world, buses are quickly and quietly going electric.

Electric vehicles, great for combating climate change, don’t do well in extreme heat. It’s a paradox being thrown into relief as multiple U.S. states bake under heat waves.

North American factories cranked out 219,000 battery-powered cars and trucks in the first three months of the year, a 39% increase over the year-earlier period.

While the average gasoline-powered F-150 now sells for almost $63,000 — 25% more than five years ago — the electric version commands a premium of almost 30% over that.

The immediate future of solar-powered vehicles is becoming clear: smaller, lighter, cheaper systems built to subtly augment electric driving, rather than power it in full. 

Electric vehicle production in North America is finally creeping up on EV demand, as automakers like Volkswagen, Ford, Lucid and Rivian hustle to close the output gap with front-runner Tesla.
