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.

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.

People want to run EV charging stations as a business, but could you sell gasoline for $4/gallon if almost everybody has a $1/gallon filling station at home?

An EV charging station is nothing like a gas station. To get it right, station owners must understand the different business rules and avoid gasoline thinking.

People who don't drive EVs don't understand them well, but there are some myths even the owners of EVs don't fully understand. You might believe some of them!
