In the meantime, Sikorsky Innovations and GE Aerospace are completing a hybrid-electric power systems testbed with a 600 KW electric motor for hover performance tests."05 Mar 2024 | Synopsis
While 86% of EV drivers in the US now have access to a home charger, 59.6% still use public chargers weekly.The findings come in a new survey of 500 EV drivers by US EV charging software company ChargeLab, which says this underscores the need for continued investment in public charging infrastructure...
"There's no shortage of news coverage on the problems with public charging - but what makes us excited about this survey is it reframes the issue as an opportunity,"

"...can't you use the Ford adapter to charge a Rivian, or a Chevrolet Bolt, or anything else on the Supercharger network now? The answer, unfortunately, is no."...this isn't a hardware issue when it comes to charging - it's a software issue. Until Tesla authenticates more vehicles to work on its network, those won't be allowed to charge there.
"After 2025, just about every new EV in the U.S. and Canada will have native access to Tesla
