Spoiler alert: WSJ sent a Chevy Bolt into America's "charging desert" expecting to find the limits of EV road-tripping. Instead, they found that even a budget EV can make the trip with only modest inconvenience. The charging network won. 🚗⚡
Readers challenged Christopher @Mims to try an affordable EV on a route with less-than-ideal charging options, so he devised a nearly 1,000-mile torture test for a 2027 Chevy Bolt. Here’s what happened. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4yG5fbx
A soon-to-open 122-unit residential building in Boston recently installed 52 EV chargers.
🔌 Hardware: Tesla Wall Connectors

Boston installed L2 and DC fast chargers in its municipal parking lots and garages, with plans to expand. The City also operates a growing network of curbside EV chargers throughout the city.
Charging has become standard city infrastructure in Boston, not a luxury.

The US should have EVs with longer ranges and faster charging.

Historic: Solar alone has become China’s #1 power source by capacity: 1,286 GW vs coal’s 1,285 GW
Coal led by 300 GW at end-2024. Solar erased that deficit in 19 months, even as China kept building coal
Nameplate is captured. Displacing coal's actual TWh is next: unstoppable
Given the current mood in America, I think the data-center guy dropping $158M on Ken Paxton while endlessly bashing Telrico is likely to boost Telrico support.
@SEACityLight & @seattledot are partnering to install up to 200 new curbside EV chargers across Seattle so people without driveways can charge where they park: on the street, near their home.
🔌 $0.21/kWh
💻 Residents can request a charger now (info below)
