France successfully tested a 1.5km stretch of road that can charge EVs while driving at up to 300kW peak power (200kW average). Four vehicles, including a semi truck, box van, passenger car, and bus, went across a mile-long stretch of France’s A10 outside of Paris in a real-world test of this new wireless charging system.

This technology works by transferring energy from copper coils under the road to a receiver on a compatible EV.

The U.S. already has its first public wireless charging road in a quarter-mile section of 14th Street in Detroit, Michigan, proving this interesting new concept.

The goal is to reduce range anxiety, which is a big barrier when people think about transitioning to electric, but perhaps the best use case could be for autonomous vehicles in the near future.

The new EV fast charging hub supports 150kW charging, and it is located 1.5 miles from Houston's William P. Hobby Airport. The facility targets ride-hail drivers, rental car customers, and local EV owners. It is covered with canopies and offers free WiFi.

​This is BP Pulse's second Houston location and part of their broader US airport charging initiative with Hertz.

Kyle from Out of Spec recently visited a BP Pulse location and shared his full review of this growing DC fast charging network—worth checking out if you're curious how it compares to Tesla's Superchargers or Electrify America.

Recently, Amazon Web Services (AWS) went down—and Tesla's Supercharger network went down with it. Multiple users reported app crashes and charging errors, exposing vulnerabilities in the charging infrastructure's dependence on cloud services.

Tesla wasn't alone, though. The outage basically broke the internet and touched everything from mobile banking to Netflix, Starbucks, airlines, and hospital networks. Amazon is now making changes to prevent this from happening again. Let's hope it works, because nobody wants to be stranded at a Supercharger with a dead app and a dying battery.

We spent a full week behind the wheel of the Chevy Silverado EV RST Max Range, and this thing is an absolute beast. We're talking about an unmatched 205 kWh battery capacity, insane levels of power, and a lot of smart EV-specific features that make this a very capable vehicle for work or having fun.

Roman from our team drove it daily for a whole week and walked away impressed. This truck isn't cheap, but it has no range anxiety, tons of room and cargo space, and a very pleasant ride. Check out the full video walkthrough where we break down everything that makes the Silverado EV such a capable machine.

Tesla is offering 2,000 free Supercharging miles (valid for 2 years) to gas/hybrid car owners who trade in their vehicles for any Tesla model. This promotion was announced on October 31st as Tesla aims to boost Q4 sales and offset the impact of the federal EV incentives.
