If you’ve been checking the timestamps on this site, you’ve probably noticed a bit of a gap. Aside from a recent news roundup, things have been quiet here since 2024. I haven’t been idle—I’ve been busy over at CleanTechnica, working on other projects, and handling some family caretaking duties—but the “boots on the ground” mission … Read more

Electrify America has partnered with Rocky Mountain Power to open an 8-stall station, including one dedicated pull-through stall. Plus, several others could work well for people pulling … Read more
While the site didn’t change much in May and June, that’s only because we were busy traveling to several parks in an EV!
