Will EV Charging Ever Be As Convenient as Gas Stations?

Gas stations can be found just about anywhere. They are abundant in many towns and cities across North America, and with more than 140,000 stations across the U.S., filling up your tank has never been so easy. However, with the use and production of electric vehicles on the rise, gas stations aren’t doing the…

Gas stations can be found just about anywhere. They are abundant in many towns and cities across North America, and with more than 140,000 stations across the U.S., filling up your tank has never been so easy. However, with the use and production of electric vehicles on the rise, gas stations aren’t doing the job they were once designed for. But what charging systems do EV’s have, and will they ever be as prevalent as gas stations?

On the newest episode of EVolve powered by FLO, host Gabrielle Bejarano, chats with Edmund Leduc, Interactions Designer at FLO, and Alexander Forest, Network Deployment Program Director at FLO, to talk about developments in the EV charging world and how they separate themselves from traditional pump designs. The three discuss…

1) How EV’s recharging system is completely different from traditional combustion engine vehicles

2) The difference between the three current EV recharging systems and how the public will know what works for which

3) Why a more robust EV charging system is necessary in particular areas across North America

“There’s obviously different kind of chargers for different scenarios and I think the important thing is knowing when to use which one,” said Leduc.

“The goal, of course, is to continue to increase the available infrastructure that’s out in the world. That’s a big part of our mandate and a big part of our goal,” noted Forest.

Leduc has been with FLO for almost two years. Prior to his current role, Leduc worked as a Product Designer and UX Designer for RenoRun Inc., and ALDO Group, respectively. He is an Industrial and Product Design graduate of Université de Montreal.

Forest has been with FLO since March but has had a long history of infrastructure deployment experience. He works to ensure customers get the best customer experience using the FLO product.

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Recycling solar panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for new panel production by 2035. Technical advances are making panel recycling more economic. Buyers and asset owners can start modeling recycled supply and retirement value.

  • 01Panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for solar panel production in 2035, a 15-year lag that suggests recycled supply could be estimated from installation records.
  • 02European researchers estimate recycling could cover about 25% of cobalt and 15% of lithium, nickel and manganese supply by 2030.
  • 03A recycler's recovery rate means little without its purity: TNO's laser process reported roughly 97% yield with silver at 99.7% purity, the pairing that tells a manufacturer whether the metal is usable.

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Catalyst Power says interconnection delays are now a tax-credit risk, not just a schedule risk. In Massachusetts, a project tied to a 2029 transmission upgrade could miss the Dec. 31, 2027 deadline that SEIA says now governs many solar projects, putting 30% to 50% of ITC value at risk.

  • 01SEIA says solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2027.
  • 02FERC's cluster-study reforms set study deadlines and late-study penalties, but they do not guarantee a needed grid upgrade finishes before a project's tax clock runs out.

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs. Only 33% rate their asset lifecycle management as advanced, and 49% report operational data silos.

  • 01Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs, but only 33% rate the asset management that AI would run on as advanced.
  • 02Half of executives say asset management runs in silos with limited predictive capability, suggesting early AI spend may go to data integration before models.
  • 03Pew says grid modernization capex is pressuring rates; it also says using DERs via virtual power plants could serve peak demand at 40%–60% of traditional costs and help defer or avoid some infrastructure upgrades.
