Three EV partnerships we’re excited for
These EV collaborations are helping to advance the next phase automotive technology.
Standards that will move the EV needle into warp speed
The global transition to electric vehicles is happening at a surprising pace, but widespread adoption could be happening even faster if not for inconsistencies in the supply chain and manufacturing process. Amid the regulatory and societal push to reduce carbon emissions, auto manufacturers are building EVs at a historic pace. But, from legacy automakers to
Where are the EV technicians?
Hey, EVs need maintenance and repairs too. But, working on an EV shouldn’t be done by just anyone – it takes a very particular set of skills (perhaps even skills acquired over a very long career). These vehicles aren’t your grandfather’s, working via internal combustion engines, and it takes a skilled technician to know how

What’s the next level of EV operations?
The race to grow EV usage in commercial applications is on. And, while the bulk of the fleet world is working on wrapping their arms around initial infrastructure needs and route planning to meet application demands, Penske is already looking down the road to the next set of mile markers on the road to wider
Are trucking fleets on pace for widespread zero-emissions adoption?
Take a bird’s eye view of any of America’s city streets or highways and chances are good that it won’t be long for you to see a commercial vehicle like a delivery van or heavy-duty truck. But, chances are slim, at least as of today, that that vehicle will be a fully-electric vehicle. Very few
Is there a place for electric trailers? (Of course there is)
We write a lot about electric trucks. It’s an industry in the midst of a transformation, tasting the fruits of electrification and letting the juices drip down its chin. Regulatory and societal pressures are closing in, demanding trucks produce fewer emissions. But while advancements in battery technology have brought incredible advancements to the world of
What are the real-world emissions benefits of electric cars?
A recent study on cradle-to-grave emissions from Ford shows what electrification can do to reduce overall CO2 outflow.
Let’s go for a ride in a Volvo VNR electric truck
Here on The Amped EV Podcast, we talk all the time about what it’s like to drive a vehicle with an electric powertrain, but driving an electric Class 7 truck is a bit more intimidating… or is it? To show off all the nifty features of the Volvo VNR electric truck, Jason Morgan, co-host of
EVs are getting closer to being able to charge anywhere
Drivers are anxious about knowing when they’ll next find a charger, so what if the charger came to the driver instead?

Is 100 miles of EV range in 2 minutes on the horizon?
Battery developer StoreDot says that by 2030 an EV could be charged with up to 100 miles of range in two minutes.
