EV Charging. Unless electrified roads happen in a hurry, EV chargers are going to be needed soon, and in far greater numbers than has taken place so far. The city of Shenzhen in China (pop. 12 million) has 16,000 electric buses and 22,000 electric taxis. It also has 1800 electric vehicle chargers. Moscow has 1000 electric buses, and is expected to have another 2200 on its streets by the end of 2023. www.greencitizen.com 1/5/22. EV charging is beginning to appear courtesy of regional electric co-ops: “Colorado Co-op Cuts the Country in on the EV Revolution”. www.cleantechnica.com 9/22/22. How fast is fast charging? See “Superfast EV Charging”, from ABB Terra 360. www.abb.com . Selected by TIME Magazine for inclusion in its “Best Inventions 2022” edition. How about the idea of swapping out dead batteries instead of charging them? This is beginning to happen in Asia and Africa, where battery power has been introduced in an effort to get rid of the millions of fossil-fueled rickshaw engines.
