Heard of CharIN? They are a leading global association with members dedicated to promote interoperable and unified charging standards like the Combined Charging System (CCS) and the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for EV vehicles of all kinds. New Zealand’s Liz Yeaman is an Ambassador for CharIN and will be sharing at the September New Zealand Electro Mobility Summit [5-6 Sept, AKL] on CharIN establishing a global charging standard. Hear about new features of the MegaWatt charging system for heavy vehicles, ferries and aircraft; and discussion on bi-directional charging, Plug&Charge and other charging innovations.

Hyundai drives clean logistics in the U.S. with its expanding businesses and hydrogen society vision shared at ACT Expo   Hyundai announced its expanding business initiatives to create a clean transportation ecosystem in the U.S., in partnership with industry leaders, using its XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks as a catalyst. Speakers at today’s press conference highlighted the recent NorCAL ZERO Project that is addressing port decarbonization challenges, the HTWO Logistics partnership with GLOVIS America, Inc. for zero-emission transportation in Georgia, and a collaboration with Plus showcasing autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks as part of Hyundai's unwavering commitment to advancing to a hydrogen society.    “We are like no other energy company with roots deeply grounded in mobility - and we are like no other mobility company, with branches so far reaching into energy. Our mission has always been clear: leverage our strengths in both mobility and energy sectors to realize our vision for a hydrogen society.”  - Ken Ramirez, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Commercial Vehicle and Hydrogen Business    To read more about our announcement, visit https://lnkd.in/gb-arxMH   #HydrogenSociety #HTWO #HyundaiACT2024

Great to see Zemo Partnership publish their new guide for second hand EV buyers. Zemo does so much good work behind the scenes and at the coal face of really making the transition to zero carbon happen, and here is another piece: https://lnkd.in/e7aSpcyj

CHARGEUP EUROPE AND ACEA PARTNER TO SCALE UP EV TRANSITION: The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) and ChargeUp Europe have signed a joint declaration to enhance structured dialogue and identify priority areas for collaboration. The two organisations say their joint efforts can include providing policy guidance on grid investments, establishing a ‘right to plug’, the rollout of ultra-fast chargers for heavy vehicles, single market integration, and cooperation between energy and transport systems. #EVcharging https://lnkd.in/ejVuac3X

CharIN and ABVE partner to Drive e-mobility in Brazil 🌐🇧🇷 We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between CharIN and the Brazilian Association of Electric Vehicles (ABVE). Together, we're fostering international cooperation to advance e-mobility in Brazil, a key player in Latin America. With a focus on developing an interoperable electromobility market, CharIN and ABVE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Our collaboration aims to facilitate information exchange, provide technical training, and advance charging infrastructure. ⚡🔌 ABVE is committed to promoting widespread electric vehicle adoption in Brazil, working closely with authorities and business entities to develop, demonstrate, and commercialize EVs while conducting essential research on EV technology and standards. Through this partnership, we'll collaborate on various initiatives, including promoting ISO 15118 and the CCS and MCS standards for electric vehicle charging. 🔗 Read the Press Release here: https://lnkd.in/eRKigYgQ Tatiana Araujo, CharIN Managing Director Brazil Daniela Soler, CharIN Technical Project Manager #CharIN #ABVE #ElectricMobility #Brazil #LatinAmerica #Interoperability #ChargingInfrastructure #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #CCS #MCS

Plug and charge installation in Bergen with ANPR technology. Can it be more user friendly?

Are H2 cars going down? 🚗     👉 Just a few days ago Everfuel decided to shut down all their hydrogen filling stations in Denmark for cars as they are unprofitable (https://lnkd.in/e5uSAjD8).   👉 Recently also state funding for hydrogen filling stations in California have been reduced due to insufficient demand to warrant further investments. It was expressed that automakers need to manufacture new H2 models and customers need to embrace them. A requirement which won’t be met just by wishing (https://lnkd.in/eRTK4Qnb). Also sales of H2 cars for in the US have been plummeting so it does perhaps not come as a surprise (https://lnkd.in/eHSimysG).   👉 Unfortunately, the numbers do not look better for Europe so the question is what will happen to H2 cars for passenger use. Are we seeing a transition towards a clearer focus on BEV cars or are these indications just a bump in the road? In my view it does make sense that such a transition would happen since BEVs are assessed to be both cheaper (https://lnkd.in/eQaRcUs8) and more energy efficient (https://lnkd.in/eF2RyNav).   My bet on energy type for passenger transport is BEV however H2 still remains an interesting option for other applications such as long-haul. Am I missing something? If so, please let me know. 📄   And please give your opinion.
