We’re excited to announce that our partnership with Burlington Electric Department (BED) to deploy Level 2 (240V/32A) electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at multi-unit dwelling properties in Burlington, Vermont is now underway!

Skip the long lines this holiday season by reserving a charge in advance with EVmatch. We’re kicking off our Host Spotlight series full of host stories and listing details so you can find a reservable charger that works for you this holiday season. After expanding our network nationwide earlier this year, hosts from around the U.S. have joined us to help increase the number of public charging options. If you have a personal charger and you’re inspired by our hosts, we hope you will join us as well!

The LA Auto Show wrapped up last weekend and there was plenty for our eyes to feast on in the EV showcase. Here’s a glimpse of a few EVs that automakers showcased and plan to roll out in 2020 and 2021, with special mention of SUVs and trucks – categories that have dominated the American auto market in recent years.

More than 31 million Americans are expected to fly and another 23 million will travel by car, bus, or train this Thanksgiving holiday season. Whether you’re renting a car at your destination or planning to drive the whole way, here are 3 reasons EVmatch is your go-to charging network this Thanksgiving season.

Growing up in the snowy mountains of Colorado I experienced many power outages, but they tended to last only a few hours. When I was in middle school, we had…

Electric vehicles are a perfect fit for the sharing economy. Teslas are some of the most popular vehicles on peer-to-peer car rental platform Turo. In the near future, EV owners could be earning money by letting utilities use their vehicle batteries as a tool to stabilize the grid, and by renting out their cars on the Tesla Network.

Elon Musk may not realize it, but Heather Hochrein, founder and CEO of EVmatch, is helping Tesla, along with the other electric vehicle (EV) makers, accelerate their growth, by increasing consumers’ charging options and reducing their range anxiety.

Which product should I buy? What’s a good price to pay? How can I determine which brand will last the longest? These are a few questions that swim around every modern consumer’s mind. The race to build the best product is no doubt good for consumers, but it can be hard to trudge through a long list of sometimes indiscernible options especially when it comes to relatively new technology like Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE), colloquially known as EV charging stations.

As an EV charging network that supports any type of EV charging station, EVmatch can help you make a decision about which station to buy based on our customers’ top choices.

In a rapidly changing world with new technologies coming online every day, it’s difficult to keep up. But when it comes to transportation, there’s no doubt that electric vehicles (EV) will replace gasoline- and diesel-burning vehicles.

As the Chief Strategy Officer at E Source – a 35-year-old consulting and research company for North American electric and gas utilities – I have been involved with electric vehicles (EVs) for more than a decade. The industry remains largely focused on the strategic and technical challenges of this opportunity, when the primary obstacle/opportunity sits between customer’s ears.

Our team at EVmatch spent September 23-26 in Salt Lake City for the Solar Power International (SPI) trade show – an event hosted by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Smart Energy Power Alliance (SEPA).

As an EV driver and public EV charging enthusiast, my reaction to the largely unflattering article published by the New York Times about the obstacles of all-electric destination travel oscillated between heartfelt agreement and vehement opposition. Were they spot-on about the challenges of relying solely on public fast-charging for long-distance road trips? Undeniably. Had they failed to identify some of the creative ways experienced EV drivers incorporate charging into our destination travels? Absolutely.

This month, EVmatch will be exhibiting at the 2019 Solar Power International trade show in Salt Lake City alongside startups, government agencies, and fortune-500 companies. Entrepreneurs from all over the world will come together to spread ideas on how to power the clean energy economy. If you’ll be attending, be sure to connect with us at our booth #7124 in the EV charging section of the show.

National Drive Electric Week is the annual event where millions of Americans discover, experience, and switch to an electric vehicle (EV). With more than 300 events in all 50 states, National Drive Electric Week heightens awareness about EVs with test drives, information about rebates and incentives, and more!

In part 1 of this extended post, I recounted the gory details of a 4,000-mile family road trip in a Tesla Model X. And by “gory,” I mean “delightful” for the most part…but in the interest of credibility, I have pledged to make this an unvarnished look at EV road-tripping. With that in mind, here’s where I play Monday morning quarterback and examine our (mis)adventures with a more critical eye.
