01 July 2020 | Clean Energy Wins As Tesla’s Market Value Overtakes Exxon

Show #826



Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 1st July 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.



Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.



EVPASSPORT TO OFFER $39/MONTH UNLIMITED EV CHARGING

"EVPassport, a new electric vehicle charging app, promises to deliver unlimited EV charging on a variety of different networks for only $39 per month. With the EVPassport app, EV drivers will have access to DC fast chargers across the Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint, and Greenlots networks." writes Tom Moloughney for IndideEVS: " In addition to the flat fee, EVPassport offers the convenience of interoperability. With EVPassport, there's no need to join those networks directly, which requires multiple apps and RFID cards. The EVPassport will be available this summer, however, you can join the wait list and signup now. EVPassport will be compatible with all Electrify America stations and the vast majority of EVgo stations. It will only work with about 50% of ChargePoint stations, and only with the recently installed Greenlots units. The problem with many of the ChargePoint and Greenlots stations is that they are old hardware, and aren't be compatible. EVPassport aims to simplify EV charging by introducing the Minutes To Charge feature. Instead of the app showing how many kilowatts the DC fast charger can deliver, or what the cost per minute is, it displays how many minutes you'll need to charge based on your specific car. VPassport isn't available for Rideshare services like Lyft or UBER, it's for personal use only - not commercial enterprise. There will also be a soft-cap that limits how much an individual can spend on electricity per month to eliminate abuse, but those details are still being refined."
