The world’s fifth-largest automaker has built and tested a charge-as-you-drive system – a loop of road in Italy with wireless EV charging coils embedded under the surface, so that electric cars can charge as they drive and unlock unlimited range.Contin… Continue reading In-road inductive charging tests demonstrate unlimited EV range
Late last year, UK startup ZipCharge announced the development of a suitcase-sized powerbank on wheels for charging electric vehicles. Now the company has revealed its next idea, a modular charging and storage hub called the GoHub.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading ZipCharge reveals EV charging hubs packing suitcase-sized powerbanks
All EV drivers really want is faster charging, but for now they’re getting creepy and/or complex robo-charging snakes and arms instead. Robotic charging might ultimately make topping off an EV battery easier, but it would be nice if it didn’t terrify c… Continue reading Continental makes hands-free robotic EV charging as simple as wireless
Rivian and Under Canvas have teamed up to offer Waypoints charging stations at two of the latter’s safari-style glamping resorts. The resorts will expand Rivian’s presence in Southern Utah, an always-popular off-road adventure destination. Whether you’… Continue reading Rivian electric truck charging goes glamping at Under Canvas resorts
Not all drivers looking to ditch the combustion engine in favor of battery-electric drive have ready access to chargers at home. We’ve seen a number of novel solutions proposed for on-street charging – including plug-in lamp posts and flat and flush ch… Continue reading Audi tests urban EV charging hub with included customer lounge
Limiting how long electric vehicles need to be plugged in for before returning to the road is an important factor in driving their adoption, and much research focuses on reducing these charging times. A new advance leverages an alternative cooling tech… Continue reading Liquid-to-vapor-cooled cable beats the heat for 5-minute EV charging
Startup ZipCharge says that some 40 percent of car-owning households in the UK don’t have designated off-street parking, making owning an electric vehicle less attractive due to lack of home charging possibilities. That’s where the Go power bank on whe… Continue reading Suitcase-sized ZipCharge Go takes the charger to the EV
