America Keeps Adding EV Chargers. Will More Drivers to Use Them? https://lnkd.in/eUtezj_q The U.S. has seen an 80%+ surge in fast-charger installations over the past two years, topping 60,000 ports by August—and with over 7,000 added in just the first half of 2025.

The CEO of U.S.-made electric truck company Slate says removal of EV tax credit is ‘opening up capacity’ from battery suppliers https://lnkd.in/ehHddSun The EV tax credit rollback is reshaping the supply chain in ways few expected. Chris Barman, CEO of the startup Slate Auto notes that battery suppliers are now freeing up capacity, creating openings for smaller manufacturers to move projects forward. For investors, this is less about short-term demand and more about long-term supply chain resilience.
