Now we’re getting somewhere! Five years ago, in collaboration with GreenWay and more than 10 private, public, and nonprofit partners, CleanTechnica produced a report on EV charging station guidelines for cities. Included in the report were specific station design recommendations. There are also opportunities for massive improvement in the EV charging experience when combining stations […]

The Ohio Department of Transportation, through its DriveOhio program, is awarding millions of dollars to get more EV fast chargers installed in the state. The money, naturally, is coming from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. EVgo is turning out to be a big winner in the award funding in Ohio. The EV charging […]
