Whether you’re an electric car driver, soon-to-be owner, or enthusiast, this is the webinar series for you. We’ll talk with industry experts about buying electric vehicles (EVs), solutions to some of the biggest barriers to widespread EV adoption, and EV charging. We’ll also detail many of EVmatch’s products and services in a format that allows you to ask us questions in real-time.

We’re excited to spotlight one of our newest partners, Charli Charging, an innovative electric vehicle charging service provider offering affordable, turn-key solutions for charging station installation and operation.

Have you ever bought a new car? Why do they make it so complicated? I get it, it’s a large purchase, like buying a house or college tuition. For gas cars, the process has been repeated so many times that, generally, you can be confident that you’re in pretty good hands (just don’t forget your negotiating hat).

The latest Danish Council on Climate Change report was released 2 days before COVID-19 forced the country into shutdown. Implementing its central recommendation for a national carbon tax might not be possible in the near-term, given mounting economic uncertainties. However, COVID-19 shouldn’t stop the Danish government from commencing some of the report’s immediate calls to action, including strategic planning of: Electric Vehicle Charging Deployments, Carbon Capture and Sequestration, and Agriculture Emissions Accounting.

Scientists warned us that a pandemic like this was coming, we didn’t listen.

Both Democratic candidates for United States President support the Green New Deal – what does that mean for their plans to address climate change and make it possible for more people to drive an electric vehicle?

Let’s face it. Americans are obsessed with SUVs and crossovers, which make up around 40% of all vehicles sold in the U.S. In addition to the mounting costs of gasoline, our love of SUVs is also costing the planet in terms of carbon emitted by sports utility vehicles (compared to more efficient sedans and hybrids.)

Electric vehicle (EV) sales in the U.S. are nearing 1.5 million, with significant growth recorded month over month since 2011 (see Veloz chart below). At this rate, the U.S. is slated for 1.28 million EV sales in 2026 alone. While we’re at it, let’s throw another number into the mix: 20X. That’s the projection of 20X more EVs on the road by 2030 than today.

In states like California and Colorado, it’s a no-brainer to install a home solar system. Even with the upfront costs, home solar provides a strong ROI and energy resilience amid unpredictable electricity rate hikes and natural disasters. Additionally, you can save 26% on your solar system thanks to the federal solar tax credit.

Following up on my account of our family odyssey this past summer (Part 1 + Part 2), I thought I would offer a coda on traveling in the colder months…not to mention with a third child now outside the womb! This go-round, we headed southeast, with our farthest point out being Scottsdale, AZ. The total distance traveled was right around 2,000 miles, over nine days.

The convenience of ridesharing services has made companies like Uber and Lyft as essential to daily life as the morning cup of coffee. Whether you take an Uber every day to work, use Lyft occasionally when you’re on vacation, or drive for both companies to make some money, ridesharing doesn’t look like it’s disappearing anytime soon. Due to the sudden popularity of these companies, they are constantly recruiting new drivers to their existing fleets. However, with the ever-increasing number of drivers, these companies will probably require some sort of fleet management software to ensure their drivers can be tracked. Thanks to companies like Lytx, these ridesharing fleets can improve their safety and increase their visibility. This ensures the management can keep an eye on every car going out to pick up a customer. Whilst it’s great that these ridesharing companies are constantly growing, what about their carbon footprint?

Busting myths about electric vehicles could (and probably is) a full-time job for someone out there, especially on the topics of EV batteries and charging. Today, we’re going to bust 3 of these myths that I’m sure most of you have heard.
