It’s hard to miss the corny holiday car commercials this time of year. As if one partner would buy two new cars – a significant purchase – for her and him as a complete surprise. The fact that car companies air these commercials year-after-year means they’re at least somewhat effective. So if you’re finding yourself persuaded to buy a car this holiday season, let it be electric. Not convinced? Here are three reasons why your next car should be an electric vehicle (EV).

At current growth rates, there will be more than 30 million electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads within a decade, and that was projected before California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts called to ban gas car sales by 2035. So, the question is — where will they all charge?

In my continuing quest to show that electric cars can ferry adventurous families just as well as gas-guzzling minivans and Tahoes, I can now say from experience that this holds true during the “new normal” of the pandemic. (Important note: we traveled between August 8th and 17th, after the second wave of COVID had crested, and would have not have done so had cases still been rising.)

General Motors discontinued the Hummer in 2010 amidst the Great Recession and rising gas prices. The embodiment of American excess, the Hummer had long been a target of environmentalists, so you can imagine their surprise to see GM resurrect it 10 years later as a full battery electric vehicle (BEV) with a 350-mile range.

We’re excited to announce one of our newest partners, NeoCharge, whose Smart Splitters are making it easier and cheaper for homeowners to add EV charging.

California Governor Gavin Newsom cut through coverage of the upcoming general election and ongoing coronavirus pandemic with his Executive Order requiring 100 percent of new passenger vehicle sales in California be electric by 2035.

Many in-person events are on hold due to COVID, but organizers of National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) are finding creative ways to help consumers learn all about electric vehicles.

Car makers are becoming more bullish on electric vehicles (EVs), especially SUVs. This comes at a time when many states with zero emission vehicle (ZEV) standards are requiring car dealerships to carry and sell more EV models. Here’s a list of some of the most recent EV releases.

If you’ve done even the most preliminary research on electric vehicles (EVs), you know that California, especially the Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay areas, are EV-adoption hubs in the U.S. in terms of both charging infrastructure and government incentives. There is a $2,000 rebate for the purchase or lease of any EV, and 75% of charger installation costs can be covered by CALeVIP, not to mention loads of more localized incentives.

Over the next decade, all of us will see transportation undergo a dramatic shift. Electric cars will transport people, electric bikes will zip along roads and paths, electric buses will take kids to school and commuters to work, electric freight trucks will deliver your Amazon packages and goods, and electric planes and ships will span the globe.

There are three common reasons why people refrain from purchasing an electric vehicle (EV): price, range, and insufficient charging infrastructure. All three of these concerns will be addressed in this article. So hold on to your seat, because it’s going to be an exciting ride.

One of the best ways to promote your EVmatch Host Listing(s) is on PlugShare – the platform that aggregates public charging locations. You’ll find a whole new audience of EV drivers ready to pay to use your charger as long as you link your unique EVmatch host listing URL in your PlugShare listing. Follow the instructions below to set it up.

I received an email this week from Tesla with great news: they released a Model S with a range of 402 miles – longer than any “EV on the planet.” Exciting, right? Yes and no. Let’s start with the bad news – most of us won’t be able to afford the $65,000+ Long Range Plus Model S. The good news is human innovation hinges on reaching new benchmarks, pushing the envelope, and, yes, some grandstanding. Tesla does all three, which will continue to move the market forward by means of technology and scale. Longer range is crucial to encouraging the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles.

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis Police followed by weeks of global protests, communities and industries everywhere are reckoning with the U.S.’s deep-seated racism. As a company in the clean energy space, we see firsthand the effects of inequality and racism. Just as poor nations with small carbon footprints are disproportionately impacted by climate change, structural and environmental racism in the U.S. has made people of color more vulnerable to climate change and pollution even though rich, white communities are responsible for greater pollution emissions.

Out of 31 proposals, EVmatch is one of three innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions selected by Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) for its Innovation Onramp program aimed at achieving deep decarbonization.
