Winter storms can reduce EV range and charging speed, but proper preparation makes a major difference. This guide explains how cold affects EVs and offers practical tips for charging, preconditioning, traction, and winter safety.

New data suggests frequent use of high-power fast chargers above 100 kW can increase EV battery degradation over time. However, built-in protections and balanced charging habits help most drivers avoid serious long-term impact.

This article explores the two competing EV charging standards in North America: CCS1 (J1772 for AC and combined DC) and Tesla’s NACS connector. It explains how they differ physically and functionally, which EV models already support NACS via adapter or native port, and the expected shift toward industry-wide adoption of NACS from 2025 onward. It covers current user implications, infrastructure changes, and benefits of consolidation for automakers and charging networks. Practical use cases and future trends show how EV owners can prepare for a more seamless charging experience.

Vehicle-to-Load is redefining what an EV can do beyond transportation. Whether you're off-grid camping, preparing for emergencies, or powering tools on-site, V2L offers a flexible and sustainable solution. As automakers continue integrating this feature into new models, V2L will play an increasingly important role in making EVs more versatile, functional, and valuable in everyday life.

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) is a bidirectional charging system allowing electric vehicles to supply power to homes. It helps reduce energy costs, improves grid resilience, and provides backup during outages. This article explains how V2H works, compares it to V2G and V2L, outlines compatible vehicles and equipment, and highlights future trends in home energy independence.
