Lynn Ames (second from rt), VP of Partnerships, shared the secret for successful electric school bus fleet interconnection -- a dash of innovation plus the right mix of partners to power an energy-independent future -- during this morning's #DistribuTECH2023 panel. #ESB #V2G

EPA just announced electric school bus applicant winners across 50 states. #evs https://t.co/DHfszxEI18

@AirCanada Thank you! While we had to miss our 1pm flight to San Diego due to the front desk not recognizing my Novavax vaccine,
your staff was very professional and meant well. We are still here waiting for the 7:30, but all is good.

#Toyota is investing $35 billion into 30 models of battery-powered electric vehicles by 2030. Battery #EVs will make up 100% of sales for its #Lexus brand in Europe, North America and China by 2030 and globally by 2035. #scurvestrategies #evcharging https://t.co/DPeQid5H7s

[April Bolduc @AprilBolduc]

Better late than never. @Toyota joins the ranks of @Tesla, @GM & @Ford by building their own billion-dollar #battery plant to support #EV models. Toyota plans for EVs to make up 70% of its U.S. sales by 2030. #scurvestrategies #evcharging #EVs https://t.co/va8T6QNkvR

It's time to expect the unexpected, and that's a good thing for #EVs. Tesla's CFO says during his financial call: the level of demand it’s seeing today is unexpected. #scurvestrategies https://t.co/1EinkfpM5D

More #EV progress! A new national target calls for #electricvehicles to represent half of all new #auto sales by 2030. Time to focus on building charging infrastructure & consumer adoption. Test drive an EV this weekend. #scurvestrategies #evcharging

#EV batteries do contain critical minerals. But with developments like these, we can make valuable supplies like cobalt and nickel go further, and reduce dependence on #China. #electricvehicles #battery #recycling

Over the life of a car, EVs cost $8k less to own than gas vehicles. As the cars age this gap increases to $12k. The Hill bases this on the DOE’s study results that found ICE vehicles were 4 cents per mile more than EV. Long-term savings is in maintenance. https://t.co/04wyQv4RWO

Lots of talk re #EV at the #RoadmapForth Conference. U.S. Sec. of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said to halve GHG emissions by 2030 "transportation being such a big part of the problem also carries an opportunity to be the biggest part of the solution." https://t.co/aWikoZfs6y

Companies are working on batteries to charge EVs in 10 mins. This is where strong education & outreach efforts come in. You often don't need to charge in 10 mins. My favorite line - is this "really the future we want - at least with the grid we have now?" https://t.co/piwDhKUW1J

[April Bolduc @AprilBolduc]

A good update on the progress of @Tesla's Megapack utility scale battery storage for @PGE4Me. Tesla's prediction is that energy revenue will far surpass its EV revenue. https://t.co/RDkxGz0A5C
