Better Infrastructure

Programs like the one recently awarded to EV Connect by the NYPA (New York Power Authority) are the foundation of a new infrastructure. It is crucial for us to create a network of charging stations that will be both large enough and efficient enough to handle the expected rise in consumption of EVs in the coming years.

If we fail to do so, people will continue to be frustrated by inconveniences that are easily avoidable within a reliable infrastructure. This will result in EV sales to freeze and this movement to die before it even begins. I will say it again - the successful replacement of gas engine vehicles will only come about when we have the infrastructure to support it. So let's get to it!

Much Needed Press.


For years, EV's have been pushed to the back of auto show rooms, given minute advertising budgets, and produced by some companies solely to appease standards set by the EPA. That is all beginning to change. 

The Tesla Model S is now "by far the best selling large luxury sedan in the US market," and is showing no sign of slowing down. With production being ramped up on all of their projects, Tesla looks to lead the US into the year 2017 with a fresh outlook on how EV's can shape our future.

Verdek In Argentina

Verdek CEO Guy Mannino recently took a trip to the Galileo BioGas treatment plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The system recovers 99.9% of available methane from the raw gas.

The Cryoboxes, also pictured, are shown producing energy for the Buquebus ferries that make regular trips from Buenos Aires to Montevideo.

The Master Plan, Part Deux


Elon Musk is the world of clean energy's hero. In a time where the average person lacks the patience, passion, and funding to make a difference in our lack of infrastructure, Tesla doesn't see any reason to be hesitant. In the second part of his master plan, Musk goes beyond his original goal of making a high-performace EV that is affordable for everyone. He envisions a world completely run by his Teslas, and homes that power themselves. 


In summary, the four-point plan is stated as:

- Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage
- Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments
- Develop a self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual via massive fleet learning
- Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it

Skeptics of the proposed timeline still abound, but Tesla and Elon Musk seem up to the challenge.

White House Guarantess Loans For EV Chargers

The Obama administration has stepped up in its waning days and contributed to the EV movement. By announcing a new federal loan guarantee for EV charging stations, coupled with regulations and partnerships made by several of the industry's top producers, a solid groundwork has been laid for a boom in infrastruture over the next few years. The key is for all of these industry players to take full advantage of the incentives that have been put in front of them. Now is the time for action!
