The key to the successful installation entails assessing the property’s electrical capacity, aligning the property for future growth, and ensuring compliance with safety and legal standards.

The final quarter of the year was particularly remarkable for EV sales. Americans purchased 317,168 electric vehicles from October to December, capturing 8.1% of the total new car sales during this period.

Electric vehicles’ energy consumption is typically measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 miles). This measurement is akin to miles per gallon (mpg) in gasoline vehicles.

To properly accommodate One Paraiso’s residents, CityVitae installed the first Level 3 Fast Charger for multi-family use in the state of Florida.

EV charging technology is categorized into three charger levels, each with varying charging speeds and applications.

As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in early 2020 and lockdowns were implemented in countries around the world, global car sales experienced an unprecedented drop. Several surveys have shown that the drop in global sales in 2020 settled around -14% and that it was significantly larger than the one observed during the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. The question is, do we know if electric vehicles were impacted the same way?

In this article on monetization, we want to talk about one of the unknown parts of electric mobility (EM): how the private sector can and should monetize the massive deployment of charging stations that will occur in our cities and roads.

In the race for the adoption of electric mobility, Costa Rica has made a mix of operational, tactical and strategic decisions that turned out to be the key to becoming the undisputed leader in the region in terms of the percentage of electric car purchases versus the total number of cars registered in the country.

We analyze the essence of these decisions, their advantages and disadvantages and propose some advice that any country in the world could follow based on this return of experience.

The deployment of charging infrastructure and the increasing number of EV models available are evidencing the fast change that is experiencing the EV market.

Yet, the EV market is still small.

In order to understand why and to be able to foresee its potential evolution over time, three key variables need to be explored: the cost of ownership, the EV charging infrastructure and the consumer behavior.

We have focused on consumer behavior in the U.S. and compared the findings of the study published this month by the Fuels Institute (FI) with those offered by the report of  McKinsey&Co published in January 2020. Both available at the end of this post.
