Almost everything you know about EV charging is wrong once cars charge themselves, which happens soon. What can companies who hope to be in the charging business do?

Waymo might be able to import the Ojai cheaply from China into Canada, and other Canadian angles on the expansion of robotaxis to the North.

Robotaxis have batteries and can drive to charging when the sun is up and the solar surplus electricity is cheap. That means they have the chance to be super-green

Soon, most EVs will be able to drive themselves slowly to nearby chargers. This will lead to the rise of "full serve" charging where a human or robot plugs the car in

It's counter-intuitive, but smaller, van-sized vehicles can make more energy-efficient transit than buses and trains, because better service means less empty seats, thanks to self-driving

Self-driving cars seem to be just more cars, and people who dislike cars don't love that. But the electric robotaxi offers much more potential

Most EVs in the 2030s will be able to drive themselves a short distance to an automated charging station. That rewrites what EV charging infrastructure to build

Charging at hotels is the best way to charge on road trips. Sadly, hotels are now billing a lot more to do it.

People with gasoline thinking are obsessed with duplicating the gasoline fill-up, and want fast charging. But the right answer is to be slow, matching the dwell time.
Bill Gates recently posted his new thinking on Climate Change declaring we've been thinking about it the wrong way. His article is sending shockwaves, some agreeing, some feeling he has betrayed the cause, and some like Trump declaring this is proof that climate change was a hoax.

PHEVs were supposed to drive as EVs 75% of the time, they only did it 20%. Here's how regulations were poorly designed and cars didn't provide what drivers need.

Tesla's diner is mostly a gimmick, but the integration of food ordering and driving points the way to a better energy experience when outside the city

What if there's a new way to sell cars that makes the car cheaper and the energy more expensive, but always saves you money?

Ford promised a Model-T moment. Will they hit the right mix to sell the public?

Using hotel charging can cut EV road trip prices and waits in half or more. But how will hotels price this service?

Tesla showed a Robovan with the CyberCab but said little. Here's how self-driving vans could be the future of public transit

BYD's charger will be fast, but probably quite expensive, and you won't need it, and only want it some of the time. So does it change the game?

Even if you can't charge at your home or office, there are still ways to never wait for your car to charge. Here's how.
I’ve put 50,000 miles on my electric car, around half of them on long distance road trips. But when people ask, “Don’t those take a long time to charge?” my response is that I’ve spent less time waiting to charge than I used to spend filling up with gasoline. You just have to know how to do it right, and you need right charging infrastructure. That latter factor is why I have to say “almost,” because this is not always true in these early days of EV adoption, but it will be true almost all the time as the EV transition continues.
