EVS38 Is All About Charging - CleanTechnica
The Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS38) held in Gothenburg is entirely focused on charging technology, infrastructure, policies, and future developments related to electric mobility. As the largest and most significant scientific conference on the electric vehicle transition, it attracted over 400 abstract submissions, all addressing various aspects of charging. The event also features an exhibition showcasing numerous high-power DC chargers and related industry support. While many presentations are highly technical and challenging for non-specialists, the main stage offers more accessible content. The author plans to review selected presentations in the coming week and participate in excursions to the Volvo tech center and an MCS charging hub. Additional detailed analyses and summaries of EVS38 will be provided through CleanTechnica’s channels.

General Motors (GM) reported strong growth in electric vehicle (EV) sales in the U.S. during the first five months of 2025, positioning itself as the second-largest EV seller nationwide with over 62,000 units sold across its Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands. Chevrolet alone sold more than 37,000 EVs through May, surpassing Ford and becoming the fastest-growing domestic EV brand in the first quarter. May marked GM’s second-best month ever for EV sales, following a 94% year-over-year increase in Q1. GM’s U.S. EV market share doubled to about 15.5% in early Q2, nearing its overall national market share of 17%. GM attributes this success to its broad EV portfolio, including the popular and affordable Chevrolet Equinox EV, which accounted for over 21,800 sales so far this year. More than half of Chevrolet’s EV sales were conquest sales, meaning customers new to the brand. GM also highlighted its expanding charging infrastructure, with access to over 250,000 public chargers across North America and partnerships to increase fast-charging locations nationwide. Notably, GM’s EVs now come standard with NACS charging ports compatible with Tesla Superchargers, although the company did not emphasize this in its communications. The company emphasizes that many EV owners remain loyal once they switch, especially after investing in home charging setups, which can often be as simple as a standard 120-volt outlet for typical daily driving needs.

The article "On Tesla, Irrational Support, & Irrational Hate" from CleanTechnica presents two thoughtful perspectives on the polarized views surrounding Tesla. Larry Evans argues that Tesla has long enjoyed irrational support, leading to distorted perceptions where objective criticism is misinterpreted as hate. He highlights examples such as disproportionate state subsidies for solar manufacturing, exclusive contracts for Tesla chargers on state property, and Tesla’s high price-to-earnings ratio despite declining financial metrics. Evans contends that calls for Tesla to meet agreed-upon obligations or for a market correction are reasonable and not driven by irrational animosity. He suggests that the focus should shift toward other clean technology companies rather than continuing to idolize Tesla. The second perspective, from a user named Taycan, critiques Tesla’s recent management and product performance. They question Tesla’s lack of successful product launches in recent years and criticize CEO Elon Musk’s controversial actions and mismanagement, which they believe have damaged the company’s reputation and operations. Taycan notes that while Tesla’s early efforts helped establish the battery electric vehicle (BEV) sector, the company now faces challenges as the industry matures and competition intensifies. This view reflects growing skepticism even among Tesla’s former supporters, emphasizing the need for Tesla to prove its leadership through sustained innovation and sound management. Overall, the article underscores the complexity of public sentiment toward Tesla, balancing recognition of its early contributions to clean technology with calls for more objective evaluation of its current performance and governance. It encourages moving beyond polarized views to foster a broader focus on the evolving clean tech landscape.
