VW group announced it will be using the NACS standard like almost everyone else (looking at you Stellantis…😒) by 2025. VW was the last big domino! This is great news for consumers. Now all companies currently selling EVs in North America are committed to a common charging standard!

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Plugshare showing some of the DC Fast Chargers that are “coming soon” in the Halifax region. They give no details on the power rating of any of these chargers. I hope they are more than just 50 kW. Anything less than 150 kW is obsolete before they start.

EV electrical terms often mixed up: kWh (kilowatt hour) is a measure of energy, such as the capacity of a battery. Think of it as like the amount of litres a gas tank can hold in an ICE car. kW (kilowatt) is a measure of power. Think of it as the rate at which energy is used. Not interchangeable.
