A growing segment of shoppers now raises questions about the environmental impact of EVs, extending beyond the absence of tailpipe emissions, as revealed by an Ipsos survey. Concerns appear to center on battery production. These findings underscore the importance for automakers to not only prioritize sustainable EV supply chains but also to engage in consumer education.”
Prior to the news that the UK is pushing back its plan to transition exclusively to plug-in vehicles by 2035, instead of the initially proposed 2030, Ubitricity, which is owned by Shell, made an interesting move. They announced their intention to set up a whopping 1,050 public EV chargers right on the streets. These chargers are 5-kilowatt Level 2 sockets and are all part of Ubitricity’s lamppost charging project.
And here’s some intriguing news from Green Car Reports: they’ve gathered information on which upcoming electric vehicle brands are making the switch to the Tesla NACS charge port. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some companies jumping on board, a few holding out, and some early commitments that leave us scratching our heads. But it’s possible that everything will fall into place once Tesla’s Cybertruck hits the scene and we get more details on the charging network being developed by seven different automakers.
