In the past few years, electric vehicles have skyrocketed in prominence and popularity, and the industry is on the verge of sustainable success. But as EVs’ successes have become more visible, so have their challenges – it’s clear that their impact won’t be as straightforward as it once seemed.

Enthusiasm for electric vehicles is rocketing, yet charging remains a pain point for owners and a persistent barrier for those interested. How can manufacturers, governments, and utility services co-create practical solutions to address this challenge and galvanise a mass shift towards EVs?

ChargeScape – a joint venture between several international auto manufacturers – has been announced to begin operations in 2024, helping to make EV charging more accessible. Those hesitant about EV adoption are demanding projects to improve national infrastructure and quell range anxiety.

In an unprecedented move, General Motors is joining Tesla’s Supercharger network to streamline EV charging in the US. As charging standards become the next battleground for EV players, companies are being tasked with broadening public access to chargers and bolstering their reliability.
