‼️Faster EV charging The charging duration of EVs has been one of the most significant setbacks to faster adoption. It often takes more than thirty minutes to charge up an EV, even with direct current chargers, known presently to be the fastest EV chargers in the U.S. and beyond. EV manufacturers maintain that charging too fast could damage the batteries.
But a group of government researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory has found a solution to these challenges, and we could soon be able to charge up our electric vehicles within a few minutes. In the results presented at the fall meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) held last month, the research team, led by Eric Dufek, said that their super-fast charging methods could charge EV batteries to 90% in just 10 minutes or less without harm. They are now perfecting the solution that could take up to five years to hit the market.

👏Ford finally gets it For those who didn't know, Ford has been the parent company of the Lincoln Motor Company, which makes limousines, since 1922. Ford is celebrating the 100 year achievement in style. Ford CEO Jim Farley was present at the Monterey Car Week in Carmel, California, to announce that his company is transforming the luxury car brand to all-electric.
Farley unveiled a concept of the first Lincoln EV, Model L100, which looked sleek and sophisticated. Farley also said that his company will launch four Lincoln EVs by 2026. He sees EVs as "digitally enabled experiences" and it looks like the sleeping giant is awake with fresh ideas.
🤑EV dollars coming to Michigan The Canadian EV charging company, Flo, announced in June that it would build its first U S. manufacturing facility in Michigan towards the end of the year to help accelerate the EV transition. That project is now underway, and it will produce over 250,000 EV charging stations and create 730 green jobs in the U.S. by 2028. In addition, Flo recently installed its 100th EV charging station in New York.
