A major step forward in simplifying EV charging: Electrify America and Rivian have launched Plug&Charge—making access to Electrify America's 5,000+ public chargers effortless for Rivan drivers.    This collaboration is more than just a tech integration. It’s a reflection of our shared commitment to open standards and interoperability, making EV charging as intuitive as possible for all drivers.  With this new integration, Rivian drivers will be able to pay, plug in, and charge up without apps or cards, and see real-time charger availability and power levels through in-vehicle navigation and the Rivian app.    We believe charging should be intuitive and built with drivers in mind. This collaboration helps us deliver on that commitment.  Let’s keep driving the future of mobility, together.      #ElectrifyAmerica #EVCharging #Rivian #ChargeEasy #ChargeForward

New: Amazon's Zoox robotaxi unit has opened a sprawling manufacturing facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, paving the way for more vehicle production as it plans a commercial rollout of its fleet later this year. Zoox is racing to catch up with Alphabet's Waymo, which is the only fully public driverless ride-hailing service in the U.S. Tesla is also "tentatively" slated to launch its robotaxi service in Austin this weekend. The new Zoox site will eventually be able to produce as many as 10,000 robotaxis annually once it's at full scale. Zoox needs more of its toaster-shaped vehicles to roll off the assembly line in order to fulfill its mission of deploying a commercial ride-hailing service in the U.S. Rides are expected to open to the Las Vegas public later this year, followed by San Francisco in 2026. Rollouts in Austin and Miami are coming in the next few years. I toured the new facility in Hayward, California, yesterday and spoke to Zoox CEO Aicha Evans about the expansion.

There are 48% more #electricvehicle chargers in California than there are gas pump nozzles. California has the nation’s largest #EVcharging network, surpassing over 178,000 chargers in 2024. As EV charging networks continue to expand, CPOs and fleet operators are turning to smart EV charging and energy management platforms to balance the needs of their customers and the grid. https://hubs.ly/Q03f8BqN0

PG&E is partnering with GM to launch a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) pilot program. This initiative will allow GM electric vehicles to supply power back to homes during outages and support the grid in the future.

Eligible customers in Northern and Central California can receive up to $4,500 in incentives for GM Energy home products that enable bidirectional charging. This collaboration highlights the potential of EVs to enhance grid resiliency and reduce ownership costs.

Learn more about the pilot program and how to enroll by visiting the GM Energy Enrollment Portal.
