Tesla’s Supercharger network is expanding rapidly, adding 2,800 new stalls globally in the third quarter, a 23% increase from the year prior. This growth comes after a slowdown earlier in the year due to layoffs, and addresses concerns about range anxiety for EV owners. The network’s adoption by other automakers like General Motors and the upcoming availability for brands like Nissan and Hyundai are further solidifying its position as a crucial infrastructure for widespread EV adoption.
Ford CEO Jim Farley’s recent European road trip in an electric vehicle highlighted the need for improved charging infrastructure to accelerate EV adoption, particularly in the United States. The trip also revealed the company’s evolving EV strategy, with a focus on hybrid and plug-in hybrid models alongside fully electric vehicles.
Staubli Electrical Connectors has developed a high-power, hands-free charging connector system for heavy-duty electric mining trucks, enabling faster, safer charging and accelerating the adoption of zero-emission mining operations.
Despite growing demand for sustainable transportation, range anxiety – the fear of running out of charge – is preventing many from switching to electric vehicles. This is hindering EV sales for automakers and causing low utilization rates for charging infrastructure, ultimately impacting the growth of the entire EV ecosystem.
Electric vehicle sales are on the rise, with more models and brands entering the market. However, a lack of charging infrastructure, particularly for apartment dwellers and those without home garages, continues to be a major barrier to wider adoption. While the industry is optimistic about future growth, addressing these infrastructure challenges is crucial for making EVs a more accessible option for a larger audience.

With its commitment to American-made products and a focus on scalability and environmental impact, Dunamis Charge is poised to play a key role in the transition to a sustainable transportation future.
Chinese electric vehicle maker Li Auto has joined forces with a state-owned company, Shoucheng Holdings, to accelerate the development of charging infrastructure in China. The partnership aims to establish 2,000 supercharging stations by the end of the year, enhancing the convenience and accessibility of charging services for Li Auto vehicle owners.
Toyota Motor North America has joined forces with seven other automakers as an investor in IONNA, a company dedicated to building a nationwide high-powered charging network for electric vehicles. This partnership will provide Toyota and Lexus customers access to IONNA’s growing network of DC fast chargers, contributing to the broader adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
The Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT-Jodhpur) has developed a breakthrough adapter that will enable electric vehicle (EV) owners to harness solar power for charging their vehicles. This innovative device is anticipated to cost less than Rs 1,000 and has the potential to significantly advance the government’s goal of promoting EV adoption. The adapter effectively connects solar panels with EV chargers, allowing users to generate and utilize their own renewable energy for charging. With the growing popularity of EVs and government incentives, this adapter is poised to make a substantial impact on the EV charging infrastructure.
As the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) continues to rise, so too will the need for robust charging solutions. Mobile EV chargers offer a flexible and cost-effective way to address gaps in the charging ecosystem and provide on-demand charging. A new report from Guidehouse Insights forecasts strong growth in the mobile EV charger market over the next decade, with revenue projected to reach $10.3 billion by 2033.
