Amazon Announces Partnership with EV Charging Network Provider EVgo

EVgo and Amazon are 2 partners of VinFast. And if these two partners join hands to cooperate, what will happen? EVgo is adding new, Alexa-enabled EV charging features through its partnership with Amazon.  Now, VinFast drivers with Alexa may ask Alexa to help them navigate to nearby EV charging stations, adding to EVgo’s support of Amazon’s voice-initiated EV driver experience earlier this year.  The Alexa technology is now able to access Leveraging PlugShare, EVgo’s public EV charging repository, to locate charging stations. Once prompted, Alexa provides a list of nearby chargers along with their plug type and charging speed.   Currently, EVgo is a charging station in the top list of VinFast Public Charging Network. With the newly announced 1-year free charging program announced by VinFast, VinFast drivers can easily search and locate EVgo charging stations around them.  Find out more: https://vinfastauto.us/public-charging-promotion-offer   Bạn cần đăng nhập để tương tác với nội dung này: Đăng nhập.

Biden Administration Proposes $15 Billion Investment in EV Charging Infrastructure

In the second quarter of 2023, The Biden administration has made it a priority to address the lack of charging infrastructure. In his infrastructure plan, President Biden has proposed investing $15 billion in EV charging infrastructure. This investment would help to accelerate the installation of chargers across the country, making it easier for people to switch to EVs.  America is facing a major challenge in its transition to electric vehicles (EVs): the lack of charging infrastructure. While the number of EVs on the road is growing rapidly, the number of public charging stations is not keeping pace. This is a major barrier to EV adoption, as many potential EV buyers are concerned about being able to find a place to charge their cars.  There are a number of reasons for the lack of charging infrastructure in America. One reason is that the cost of installing charging stations is high. Another reason is that there is no single standard for EV charging connectors, which makes it difficult for businesses and governments to install chargers. Finally, there is a lack of federal funding for EV charging infrastructure.  With the above decision, a number of electric vehicle infrastructure issues will be resolved. In…

The reason why VinES confidently competes with Chinese batteries

Although it is making the Korean and Japanese battery industries ‘smoke’, Chinese batteries do not worry VinES because according to Ms. Pham Thuy Linh – General Director of VinES, they still have certain competitive advantages.  In the past 10 years, thanks to the support of the Government and the exploding green car trend in the country (the growth rate of electric cars in China in a decade has been faster than many decades of growth in the Japanese and European markets). Europe or North America) Chinese battery companies have grown strongly in both output and the speed of battery technology development. Even for car manufacturers such as Tesla, Volkswagen, Hyundai, BMW… equipping batteries from China on car models sold in this market also helps them have a certain competitive advantage.  And CATL is the battery company that has this advantage and has grown rapidly, surpassing LG Chem, Panasonic, SK On, and Samsung SDI to lead the battery supply chain for 6 consecutive years. The explosion of the domestic electric vehicle market also caused another name, BYD, to rise to the 3rd position in global battery market share, even surpassing LG Chem, which ranked 2nd in the field of electric vehicle…

Increasing Access to Zero-Emission Vehicles for all Californians

As the leading state in eliminating fossil fuels in the US, the California state government has announced a plan to reduce carbon emissions that cause environmental pollution, with the goal that by 2035 all new cars sold will be emission-free. This goal was set by state governor Gavin Newsom in his roadmap to gradually reduce the number of new vehicles sold without emissions.   If approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), this will become a “guideline” for all states’ efforts to reduce emissions, because California is currently the largest car consumption market in the United States with more than 40 million consumers. The specific roadmap is that the state of California will increase the number of new cars sold without emissions by 1/3 by 2026 and by 2/3 by 2030.  Governor Newsom proposed, and the Legislature has approved, $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2022-23, and $3.9 billion over three years, for investment in ZEV adoption, as well as clean mobility options for California’s most environmentally and economically burdened communities. These programs support the new regulation by increasing access to ZEVs for all Californians, including moderate- and low-income consumers. They include:  Clean Cars 4 All provides up to $9,500 to…

VinFast and Green Vehicle on the journey towards a sustainable future

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air is the cause of nearly 7 million deaths each year.  This situation raises deep concerns about public health as well as a pressing issue: What solutions are there to minimize the burden on the environment? That is why the green living trend is increasingly receiving strong support and the green vehicle trend is also gradually becoming an indispensable part on the path towards the era of sustainable development.   So what is a green car or green vehicle? Green cars or green vehicles are road vehicles that use electric or hybrid engines, causing less harm to the environment than vehicles using traditional internal combustion engines. Not only do they provide a perfect driving experience that is not inferior, electric motorbikes and electric cars also overcome the disadvantages of internal combustion engine vehicles.  The global air pollution situation has caused many countries to plan to “kill” cars using internal combustion engines and encourage the production and use of electric cars. That is one of the reasons leading to the remarkable development of the electric car industry.   According to The California Air Resources Board, California has 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles in use – two years…

Your Guide to Home Charging an EV

Charging your EV at home is one of the great joys of owning an electric car. Using a home charger is the easiest, most efficient, and most practical way to keep your battery topped up.  Whether it’s a full tank of gas or a full battery charge, very few of us use all of our range during a day of driving. This means you can plug in your EV at night and wake up in the morning with plenty of power to get you where you need to go. Here are some tips to get the most out of your home charger.  Tip 1: Install a Level 2 DC Charger These home chargers give you more power, more quickly.

You can set your vehicle to charge automatically during off-peak times only, so you pay less for electricity.  Tip 3: Charge to 80% Modern lithium-ion batteries don’t…

An Update on California’s Sale Ban on Gas-Powered Vehicles

In August, California regulators voted to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles from 2035 to tackle the rising threat of climate change. With California being the largest EV market in the world, it’s not difficult to see the state proceeding with an all-EV future a decade from now. Not only that, but the neighboring state of Nevada is also looking to follow suit by banning the sale of ICE vehicles starting in 2035.  The state is aiming that all vehicles sold from 2035 must not emit greenhouse gases. The state seeks to have 35% of new cars sold to the public be EVs by 2026, and they are rising by more than two-thirds by 2030 and an outright 100% five years later. However, residents in California will still be able to operate a gas-powered vehicle and buy used gas-powered cars after the ban in 2035. At the same time, some exemptions will be made by the state for selected gas-electric hybrid models that can still be sold in California. Bạn cần đăng nhập để tương tác với nội dung này: Đăng nhập.
