Guides on EV charging, charging stations, home chargers, and charging costs.
EVgo confirmed on October 1, 2026 that Tesla will build Supercharger stalls EVgo then owns and brands. Here’s why that ownership structure is a genuinely different deal than Tesla simply opening its network.
Tesla’s Supercharger network passed 85,000 stalls across 9,000 sites in October 2026. Here’s what the milestone actually changes for road-trip charging strategy, not just the headline number.
Tesla’s Gigafactory New York produced its final V3 Supercharger cabinet on March 16, 2026, closing out a seven-year, 15,000-cabinet production run. The V4 cabinet line has taken over entirely, bringing 500-kilowatt charging capability and support for 800-volt vehicles. That hardware shift affects far more than peak charging speed, reshaping installation costs and expansion pace across…
A non-Tesla EV plugging into a Supercharger pays roughly 40 percent more per kilowatt-hour than a Tesla does at the same stall, by Tesla’s own published pricing structure. A $12.99 monthly membership erases that gap entirely, matching Tesla owner pricing for any driver willing to pay it. Whether that membership actually saves money depends entirely…
The Pilot Company, GM, and EVgo charging partnership just passed 300 locations nationwide, and its PlugShare rating sits at 9.41 out of 10 as of July 2026. That score sits well above the industry average for public DC fast charging. The design choices behind that number reveal what actually drives reliability at a charging stop,…
Walmart added 27 new DC fast-charging locations in July alone, its fastest single-month pace yet. That growth pushed the retailer’s network past 100 locations and 838 individual charging stalls, putting it on the verge of cracking the top 10 largest DC charging networks in the country. Most shoppers still don’t know Walmart operates a charging…
Bentley confirmed its first electric vehicle will add 100 miles of range in just 6.5 minutes, a charging speed that would rank among the fastest on the market when the vehicle arrives in 2027. That figure implies charging speeds up to 350 kilowatts. Most public infrastructure today cannot deliver anywhere near that rate, a gap…
Ford confirmed its upcoming Fathom pickup will include bidirectional charging capability standard, not as a paid option. That announcement lands as more automakers treat vehicle-to-home power as a selling point rather than a novelty. Bidirectional hardware alone does not power a house during an outage. A specific set of additional equipment determines whether that capability…
The federal 30C home charger credit quietly expired on July 1, 2026, after covering 30 percent of installation costs for years. Most charger-incentive articles online still describe it as active. State and utility programs now carry the real savings, and payout amounts vary sharply by ZIP code rather than by any single national rule. What…
Public charging runs busier in 2026 than at any prior point. Most charging guides explain how to plug in, not what actually causes delays at a crowded station. Staying plugged in past 80% during a busy session causes most real-world delays. That single habit can double how long everyone else waits. The Habit That Causes…
