Automaker rapprochement in CHAdeMO/ComboChargingSystem market-share battle is great for EV consumers
Last week, a partnership announcement between BMW, VW and ChargePoint looked to me that it was slanted towards the ComboCharging System. In other words, it looked like a continuing salvo in the DC Fast Charging market-share war between the Japanese automakers (Nissan et al) and the German/US automakers. Today, after…
Kansas City area getting huge new electric car charging network – 1000+ charging stations, including fast charging
Oil bomb trains coming to backyards across America says 350.org at meeting in San Jose CA
BMW, VW, ChargePoint East-West-Coast fast charging network won’t solve standards war against Mitsu, Nissan, Kia and Tesla
Why should Tesla Model S owners be the only EV owners capable of taking long distant trips? What’s needed is fast charging infrastructure located along highways between major cities supporting cars other than Tesla’s. Existing DCFC infrastructure for the rest of us is only been located inside cities, and not…

Elon Musk has gone to Detroit for the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) this week preaching that between climate change and fracking there’s an urgent necessity to switch to electrified vehicles and establish a price on carbon.

Chevy Bolt gives GM a chance to beat Tesla in the electric vehicle marketplace
GM has one-up’d Tesla Motors with the Chevy Bolt concept car unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). I’ve previously discussed how the lackluster sales of the Chevy Volt, and GM’s nonexistent marketing of the car, makes us question GM’s seriousness for electric vehicles. The poor planning…
Charlie Hebdo massacre, and the other attacks in Paris, caused by the global oil war?
Obama to veto Keystone XL approval, Boehner issues bogus press release, while the Cape Wind project flops
Now that Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress, they’re planning to ramrod some extremist so-called-Conservative legislation that undermines all sorts of useful things, primarily in clean technology or environmental protection.
