"When you leave the early adopters behind and try to hit mass market scale, we know up-front price and charging concerns have been a challenge. The people we really need to reach are those that have yet to be convinced to drive electric"

According to @iea.org's new Global EV Outlook 2026, "Global electric car sales are expected to grow to 23 million in 2026, representing 28% of total car sales." Check out their full report, which has big implications for autos globally and in the U.S. 👇 www.iea.org/reports/glob...

The U.S. charging network is in the midst of a massive transformation that will leave EV owners and future drivers far better off. In total, the network now sits at around 244,000 connectors - across Level 2 and DC Fast Charging (DCFC) as of March 2026.

I'm delighted to share our next edition in our Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) 'Over-The-Air Update' series will focus on the state of EV public charging on Tuesday, April 21st at 11 AM. I'll be sitting down with Bill Ferro of Paren.

I have to say the interest in EVs - both in the used and new market that I'm seeing both from friends as well as in inquiries from the press - is the highest its been in my time at ZETA and maybe in the past couple of years. Have you all seen any increase in EV buyer interest?

“It wasn’t just the subsidies that Trump removed,” @coreybcantor.bsky.social, research director at the Zero Emission Transportation Association, told me. “It was the fuel economy standards. It was the California regulations. So it was almost a triple whammy of policy pullback.”

NEW at @thebulwark.com I wrote about Donald Trump’s assault on America’s EV industry And how his war in Iran shows how much America is going to regret it www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-elec...

East coasters looking for a way to warm up from all that snow? Join the Zero Emission Transportation Association for a virtual fireside chat as I sit down with Liz Najman of Recurrent on Wednesday at 2 PM to discuss the data behind battery durability.

One of the biggest questions that I get around electric vehicles is about the long-term health of the EV battery. For the next iteration of the Zero Emission Transportation Association's Over-The-Air Update series, we're going to be tackling all aspects of battery longevity.
