Earlier in January, the EVBox team dropped by Las Vegas and participated in CES 2019—the largest technology trade show on earth. And when we weren’t busy showing attendees all of our awesome new charging solutions, we got to walk around and see some groundbreaking innovations from other companies.

CES, held annually in Las Vegas, is one of the best global tradeshows to get to know the latest technologies and trends across dozens of consumers and businesses. This year was no exception—the 2019 edition being yet another event that met the expectations of the approximately 200,000 visitors looking to learn about the latest tech.

Last week, Electrify America received approval for its ambitious $200 million California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) plan—its second cycle of investment in charging stations, education, and R&D. The investment will run from mid 2019 until the end of 2021, and will make up 25% of the overall $800 million 10-year ZEV investment for California.

AVERE, the European Association for eMobility, hosted its annual eMobility Conference in Brussels in October 2018. Over a two-day period, the conference drew hundreds of mobility, energy, and sustainability experts from across the globe to listen to speakers and network with industry professionals on how to collectively drive the future of electric mobility forward in Europe and around the.

Yes, it’s time to start gearing up for the new electric cars that will hit the roads in 2019. Even if you aren’t considering purchasing a new electric car next year, you can’t avoid being excited about the 15+ new models coming soon.

You’ve likely heard statistics about how only 20% of tech jobs are held by women, which has led to a call for wider acceptance of all genders in tech. From this, a number of initiatives have popped up around the world, including Women in Tech Week (happening September 17–21).

Last week, I had the pleasure and honor of attending and speaking at the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS). GCAS brought over 5000 global thought leaders, nations, cities, and companies together in San Francisco. Thousands more followed the live stream of the event worldwide.

Earlier this spring, EVBox moved in to one of the most sustainable buildings in the world— EDGE Olympic. Little did we know, our move became one of the greatest love stories of modern time. 

We don’t mean to brag, but we’re well on our way here in Amsterdam. Our hometown has been prioritizing its air quality over the past decade, introducing low-emission zones, electric public transportation, and increasing the number of charging points for electric vehicles to 2,500 and counting. All of it to keep Amsterdam’s skies crystal clear—the perfect backdrop for a rainbow.

Very few people have ever plugged in an electric vehicle and powered it up ready for action. For sure, we read about them every day but, truth be told, what Electric Vehicles (aka EV's) are all about remains a mystery for most...
