Honda to install Calif. hydrogen fuel cell power station
Honda says it plans to install a stationary fuel cell power station on its corporate campus in Torrance, Calif., by early 2023. The station will serve as a proof of concept for the future commercialization of a power generation unit for use as a zero-emission backup power source for facilities such as data centers, which
Funding available for federal $5B zero-emission school bus program
As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the U.S. Federal Government has dedicated $5 billion in funding to deploy zero-emission and clean school buses over the next five years. Priority districts can receive up to $375,000 per bus in funding, which can represent up to 100% of an all-electric school bus price, while
What’s the long-term scalability of electric truck fleets?
Even though there are few trucking fleets out there today that have adopted electric trucks, one thing is clear: Fleet managers are interested in going electric. The big-name truck OEMs will tell you the same thing. “Customers are absolutely telling the OEMs that we need to be moving this way over the next several years,”
NC distributing $1M+ in Level 2 EV charging infrastructure rebates

‘Electric Truck Hydropower’ could swap dams for EVs
Mountain regions have a large potential for hydropower that cannot be harnessed effectively by conventional technologies. However, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IISA) researcher Julian Hunt and an international team of researchers say they have developed a hydropower technology based on electric trucks that could provide a flexible and clean solution for electricity generation
Europe’s grid can support 100 million+ EVs, study says
Europe’s electricity grid will remain stable despite the exponential growth of the EV market and high electrification ambitions, reveals new EY-Eurelectric study. But timely planning of charging infrastructure and coordination between public authorities, electricity utilities, grid and charge point operators will be paramount to success, the study says. The advice of this study applies just
EV charging infrastructure is growing – but it must grow more
Look, we just saw a charging station at a bank in Akron, Ohio! That must be a sign that these things have got to be darn near popping up everywhere at this point, right? Not quite. Honestly, though, the numbers aren’t terrible. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are 46,286 locations in the

Transporting EVs 101: From shipping to driving
Electric vehicle (EV) ownership is on the rise. In 2021, EV sales were up 83% globally compared to the year before. There are also several new policies to further foster EV adoption among both consumers and organizations, including specific incentives in 45 states and the District of Columbia for EV and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
How California is shaping trucking’s EV strategy
Remember those kids in the 1989 movie “The Wizard” who really, really wanted to get to California? (No? It’s fine –obscure reference.) Today, you’ll find some of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers who’ve established zero-emissions goals over the coming decades feeling the same way. If you want to test EVs, out west is the place
Is the U.S. serious about viable hydrogen fuel infrastructure?
Critical to the success of fuel cell vehicles will be the rollout of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and the production of cheap “green” hydrogen – low carbon hydrogen made from renewable electricity and water. This is an audio-only version of our episode about hydrogen fuel infrastructure in the U.S. Go ahead, you’re already here – take a
