When reviewing electric vehicles (EVs), automobile journalists usually cite a long list of superlatives — they’re quick, quiet, reliable and economical, and their ranges keep increasing while charge times keep getting faster. But oftentimes, there’s a caveat: The charging networks in some U.S. cities and highway corridors aren’t always reliable, [...]

But oftentimes, there’s a caveat: The charging networks in some U.S. cities and highway corridors aren’t always reliable, journalists report. Even when drivers […]
Accurately forecasting how much power individual stations will demand from the electric grid is a major challenge facing the rapid expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging in the United States. While other electricity consumers, such as apartment buildings or factories, are known quantities that grid operators can plan for, the [...]
