Seattle is running the table on Nobel Prizes over the last 2 years! The PNW is proving to be one the top technology hubs in the world 💪

One of the best parts about charging with Electric Era is nearly every session is battery supported Here is a big session during which a $24 demand charge was avoided saving $4000! In the graph you can see the dynamic grid limit being set to save 💸💸💸

Over the last 18 months Electric Era has been hard at work developing a revolutionary new product. I am excited to share it with the world on October 15th After delivering over 35,000 charging sessions with 99.6% per port uptime, we have learned a thing or two about what makes great charging. As EV drivers, engineers and product designers we obsessed over every last detail to level up the experience even more, and make something truly beautiful. As with all our products, we started our development process by focusing on delivering the best possible experience for EV drivers. This is our true north star at @ElectricEraTech After months of grueling hard work we feel like we have made something truly special that drivers will love. The best litmus test of a product is how it makes you feel when you see it, use it, and when you tell your friends about it. My hope is our new product makes you feel inspired, compelled and excited about the future. Excited to share more soon!

For the EV driver, a larger station is preferred to increase chance of an available port. But station owners need to strike a fine balance between station size and capx. Here in lies the challenge with utilization modeling... and my reinvigorated fascination with GIS 🗺️

I've seen some charging networks claim they'll only build 10+ port stations, but data would argue that it might be most economical to build 6 ports assuming you can keep them all operational. Obvi, the ability to scale up when demand grows is key.

We are launching an Electric Era Driver Club! 🤯 This is a place for EV drivers to connect, discuss charging, provide insights from the field and where we will be sharing awesome new info about @ElectricEraTech charging stations Join below! teapawt.org/i/communities/19651683…

Vertical integration in software has been @ElectricEraTech's major advantage since 2022 Nearly 33,000 sessions later and software continues to be the pulsing heartbeat of what makes us great
Vertical integration gives so many advantages With a full OS you get 1 - Faster feature deployment 2 - Better observability 3 - Better controllability 4 - Better automation for fault resolution Similar advantages are true with hardware ownership

Every month at Cleanview, we track new power projects that come online across the US. In July, 99.7% of new power capacity came from clean energy and storage projects.

Replying to @politico
@politico makes the argument this is purely politics motivated (it may very well be) the reality is that American enterprise retailers already have the land, they refueled ICE vehicles for decades, and they are best suited to lead with EV charging too politico.com/newsletters/pow…

traditional gas station biz models leaned on the in-store sales to keep the fuel prices low. it will be no different with kW's. but in order to make that work, there needs to be a connection between the retailer and the pump.

Drove our ID Buzz to the Methow Valley over the weekend, including a stop at @ElectricEraTech's Arlington station (don't sleep on Taj Grill & Spice next door). This was my first time charging the Buzz at one of our stations, unfortunately Quinn didn't share the excitement.

had a blast comparing notes on stage with a pretty unique panel. Planes, cars, scooters, and cities all working towards the same thing... healthier 🌎. Thanks for facilitating @JuliaThayne!

SW Harvey Milk St in Portland. Businesses seem to be doing fine without car parking or car lanes.

How would you transform a parking spot to improve your city? We're teaming up with Park(ing) Day and @TheBetterBlock to grant organizations $1,000 each toward creating a #parkingday installation in any city for the September 17th celebration. bit.ly/3iolWUX
Can't believe I just realized how poor the parking compliance is on the Abbey Road album cover. That lane is totally wide enough for a parking lane + lane of travel. Hopefully Westminster parking enforcement has solved this issue
