ChargePoint to join Hubject ecosystem, will implement Plug & Charge EV charging
One of the biggest problems with public EV charging is the fragmented nature of the networks (now more fashionably known as CPOs). Charging an EV should be as easy as using a cell phone, but many CPOs still expect drivers to download apps, set up passwords, etc. Ugh! Hubject has developed an eRoaming platform that… Continue reading ChargePoint to join Hubject ecosystem, will implement Plug & Charge EV charging
California revises LCFS regulations to favor EV charging over biofuels
The California Air Resources Board has approved an update to the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) that will make it more difficult for biofuel producers to generate regulatory credits, and seems likely to result in the largest share of credits going to support electricity for EV charging. The program, which is funded by fossil… Continue reading California revises LCFS regulations to favor EV charging over biofuels
