On Friday, November 5, Congress passed a landmark infrastructure bill that apportions $65 billion to rebuilding our aging electric grid. Although we should applaud this long overdue measure, we need to be realistic about its impact. Continue reading via Power Magazine

Beam Global [NASDAQ:BEEM], a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging technology, has a robust appetite…

Educating the public on EV charging habits is an important but often overlooked step as we work toward an all-electric future. CEO Desmond Wheatley shares with Forbes what that education should look like and how we can get there.

A common argument against the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) today is that unless charged with electricity generated by renewable energy, they are not really zero emissions. Many grids rely on coal or nuclear power, for example, meaning EVs may be zero tailpipe emissions but still carry a carbon footprint. In addition, the prospect of energy shortages and blackouts means EV charging could be impossible in certain situations. Could efforts around sustainable energy temper these concerns and further drive the adoption of EVs?

The ability to access clean power that is not reliant on the grid is vital, especially with the vulnerabilities of our current grid. Not only does our technology help ensure people have resilient access to power in a rapidly scalable format, but it also drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions.” CEO Desmond Wheatley spoke with CleanTechies, of CleanTechnica, about Beam Global’s technology, mission, and where his own drive comes from.

If you’ve been thinking about electric vehicle charging stocks, you’re not alone. The electric vehicle space has been a hot one on Wall Street for a couple of years now. And now the White House is putting renewed emphasis on the sector with its recent infrastructure package. The $1 trillion package championed by President Joe Biden includes $7.5 billion that is earmarked for a national network of 500,000 EV charging stations by 2030.
