Thumbnail Image:  Short Description:  Being "green" is a great benefit of plug-in vehicles. But the label "green" causes lowered expectations and reflexive opposition, making the cars seem less desirable to people that are unfamiliar with them.

Plug-in electric vehicles are far better for the environment than gasoline vehicles, even on the current grid. They are not zero-impact--no car ever will be--but they are a major leap forward now, and will get even better as the grid improves (which is underway; coal use has gone from 52% to 44% just since 2007, and this trend is expected to continue) or as their owners choose cleaner electric sources. This is an enormous benefit.

Dozens of volunteers have helped survey Blink and ChargePoint sites and report on parking policy, station condition and availability. A picture is emerging of where we stand today with networked charging infrastructure.

Last December, I started collecting data for a study of the current state of EV Charging Infrastructure. Dozens of Plug In America supporters volunteered to survey local charging sites belonging to the Blink and ChargePoint networks and report on things like parking policy, station condition and station availability. Combining that information with other data collected allows me to build a picture of where we stand today with networked charging infrastructure.

Scott Mercer is the 25-year-old co-founder of Volta Industries, a Hawaiian company that has developed a potentially "game-changing" model of charger service delivery. Based on the web model of free sponsored services, this system could provide free public EV charging ... forever. But before Scott's vision could materialize, he had to educate local business sponsors on the benefits of bringing this model from the web into the real world. Scott tells his story here

For Kitty Adams, a former nursery school teacher, the love of humanistic education led to developing an EV charger model that some are calling “groundbreaking.” Listen the story of Adopt-a-Charger here.

Thumbnail Image:  Short Description:  Bob Lutz addresses the political aspect of the Volt, and discusses the first year’s sales and marketing for the car.  He shares his vision of the future of plug in cars, and talks about the new extended range VIA Motors EREV, a full size pick up truck with the same technology used in the Volt.

It felt like a scene from Revenge of the Electric Car when I met Bob Lutz at the North American International Auto Show in January. I was in Detroit to preview the new electrified cars for Plug In America. After just seeing 3 screenings of Chris Paine’s documentary, I had images of Bob riding a rocket and doing everything necessary get the Volt into production. To me, Bob Lutz is larger than life. I grew up in Michigan and take pride in the automotive industry.

Thumbnail Image:  Short Description:  Most people are wary of perceived plug-in vehicle disadvantages. But no sacrifice is required to drive a plug-in. If you want to see increased sales of plug-ins, please help us spread the word.

Fear of plugging in

Most people are afraid of plug-in vehicles. It’s not a knife-wielding-psycho kind of fear; it’s more of a broccoli-is-good-for-you kind of wary. They have heard that plug-ins are good for America’s economy, energy security and the environment; but they don’t want to endure the sacrifices that they assume come with them. So like taking the bus, they feel that plug-ins are a great idea for somebody else. They’d rather wait until everybody else is doing it.
