Shoot us a Text.Wednesday is rockin' and we are covering the east and west coast this morning. On the east coast we track down our friends Mohawk Chevrolet hanging at GM headquarters and on the west coast everyone is trying to figure out where Elon is going…again. We will take a stop by an EV charger study along the way.Show Notes with linksMohawk Chevrolet's TikTok series, 'The Dealership,' has garnered attention with a comedic twist, featuring GM's top brass including CEO Mary Barra.Mohawk Chevrolet's series, "The Dealership," parodies “The Office” with episode 11 features co-creator Grace Kerber pitching a rebrand of the Silverado to GM execs.Kerber humorously suggests shortening the Silverado's name to “Rado.”Mary Barra makes a cameo, endorsing the rebrand idea.The series highlights the power of creative, low-budget content, drawing over 300,000 views on TikTok in the first 24 hours.“We were so honored to be invited by Chevrolet to visit GM headquarters,” said Kerber. “Meeting Mary was such a cool experience, she was so kind and fun to shoot with.”A new study uncovers significant gaps between reported and actual uptimes of EV chargers, shedding light on reliability issues and potential solutions for public charging infrastructure.ChargerHelp's report analyzed over 19 million data points to assess EV charging reliability.Actual uptime is frequently lower than reported uptime, eroding driver confidence.Older charging stations and those in long-established states show higher downtime rates.Reliability varies widely across 20 different charging networks, with some networks having 10-20% downtime.Major downtime causes include component failures, communication issues, and payment system malfunctions.Professor Gil Tal, Director of the Electric Vehicle Research Center at UC Davis, shared "the discrepancy between reported and actual uptime is a major challenge. Accurate data and local technician support are essential for improving reliability.”Elon Musk is closing X's San Francisco headquarters, marking the end of an era for the company formerly known as Twitter. The move will impact many employees as the company transitions to new Bay Area locations.The San Francisco office will close “over the next few weeks,” according to an email from CEO Linda Yaccarino.Employees will transition to existing offices in San Jose or a new engineering-focused space with xAI in Palo Alto.X was headquartered in San Francisco's SoMa area since 2011 due to a tax break that eliminated a 1.5% payroll tax.Elon Musk stated that operating in San Francisco is impossible for companies processing payments, prompting the move.Despite Musk's previous commitment to stay in San Francisco, he now says, “It is impossible to operate in San Francisco if you're processing payments. That's why Stripe, Block (CashApp) & others had to move.”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In 2023, electric vehicle drivers reported that, when pulling up to one of the more than 140,000 EV public charging stations across the United States, something went wrong about 21% of the time, leaving them unable to charge their vehicles. Such unreliability in charging availability could be crippling to what needs to be rapid growth in the EV market, and produces particular challenges to fleet operators considering EV adoption. They will be dependent on reliable EV charging to ensure their business remains operational and on schedule. Increasing the reliability of public EV charging is a two-part problem: 1) understanding what causes charging failures in a system that is a combination of electrical hardware, computer hardware, and software, and 2) having a workforce that knows how to solve the problems. In the final episode of our series examining the fleet charging landscape in the US, we are joined by Kianna Scott and Walter Thorn of ChargerHelp!, a company that offers charger support services, and charging technician training certification programs. We will discuss why we need specialized training to develop a workforce that can service EV chargers, and what kind of servicing infrastructure will be necessary to support the expansion of a widespread and reliable national EV charging network.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Frogs. Bees. Finicky software. There are a lot of things that can cause an electric vehicle charging station to break. We need to replace fossil-fuel powered vehicles with EVs as soon as possible—but if the stations don't work, it will slow the adoption of EVs. In Los Angeles, two black women have started training a small army of technicians to fix broken charging stations, and they're taking their model around the country. They couldn't have started at a better time: The U.S. is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in EV charging infrastructure. But as they're fixing these stations, they're asking an equity question: who benefits from this rapidly growing industry? Will cleantech remain a field dominated by white men? As part of their business model, they're training a diverse, inclusive workforce to be a part of the industry. In effect, they're solving a carbon emissions problem and an equity problem at the same time. The Big Switch is produced by Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy in partnership with Post Script Media.

The founders of ChargerHelp! want to repair the nation's electric vehicle charging stations while bringing equity to the workplace. For years, the government has offered incentives to help people purchase electric cars. Now, city and state programs are pushing people toward electric too, all with different requirements. In the new exhibition “Promised Land,” artist Patrick Martinez uses landscape paintings to reflect on a changing LA and how his family life fits into it.

There are 46,000 public EV charging stations across the United States. But with 32% of charging stations down at any given time, maintaining them is a big challenge for the industry.Minimizing charger downtime isn't easy – differences in manufacturers, network providers, and utilities can mean wide variation in hardware or software between stations. That complexity can make fixing technical problems a challenge.And that's exactly what our guest, ChargerHelp! Co-founder and CEO Kameale Terry, is working to solve.ChargerHelp's purpose is to give EV drivers the best experience possible. It analyzes operational data about chargers across the US – and then sends skilled personnel to fix them when they're down.Since the company's founding in 2020, ChargerHelp! has raised $2.75 million and racked up a powerful list of customers. But the mission isn't just technical – it's also human. ChargerHelp! hires local technicians, pays them a living wage, and works with partner groups to train new talent from underserved communities.Emily sat down with Kameale to hear about how ChargerHelp! is building equity into an industry from the ground up, about Kameale's unexpected detour into electric vehicles from nonprofits and banking, and how she and her co-founder Evette Ellis built ChargerHelp! into what it is today.
