Tomorrow morning (Father's Day) will be a first for me ... A reporter from a local San Francisco TV station will come to my house to interview me ... not about electric vehicles, but on my recent discovery of my birth father's identity through DNA and MyHeritage

Sometimes it is the little things that make you laugh ... Someone asked on Twitter: What famous person died too soon? My favorite response: Betty White Laughed out loud ... my wife asked what's so funny.

gorgeous sky tonight.

Top story … at least for the moment.

THANK YOU Loren McDonald + CBS News Bay Area for the great interview & sharing this amazing story. The mind boggles to think about not only how many people in the world are searching for others, but how many are waiting to be found! #familyhistory @myheritage #dna cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

One potential by product of the continuing number of companies (EV OEMs and charging hardware) joining the NACS party ... ... is might we see the EV charging battle shift to Level 2 multifamily, workplace, curbside/urban, and home - where the larger focus and need is anyway?

BTC Power adding the NACS connector to its DCFCs in 2024. That's 18 hardware makers and 29 companies total now in the NACS Tracker. evstation.com/tesla-nacs-cha… reuters.com/technology/tes…

News that TexasDOT will require both NACS + CCS connectors is not a huge surprise from the state that clearly favors/is heavily influenced by Tesla. This is original Texas Scoring Criteria from our 12.1.22 NEVI email to our clients. Only Tesla can meet the underlined criteria.

“email list rentals…” for my old friends in the email marketing industry.

Was never really a Blur fan other than Song 2, but I'm REALY liking this new song, "The Narcissist." youtube.com/watch?v=5Gr8Z3…

Q2 2023 US EV sales/deliveries are starting to roll in, many still to report - but our scoreboard is now live and will be updated as more OEMs report. Rivian and Tesla are estimates. View the full scoreboard: evadoption.com/quarterly-us-e…

"The Russians Are Coming" (released in 1966) was a goofball, satirical movie that I loved as a kid. Are there recent movies that have a similar style? imdb.com/video/vi400018…

Curbside charging and small EVs. America often doesn’t get the good stuff.

Reminder: EV InSIDER LIVE webcast tomorrow (Thursday) at 11:30 am ET/8:30 am PT with Gabe Klein We'll be talking Joint Office, NEVI, charging infrastructure / reliability, and multimodal transportation. Don't miss it. Register/More info: indium.com/corporate/medi…

The final wealth was dispersed in memory. Love this line from the book Boonville, by Robert Mailer Anderson.

The Warriors trade Jordan Poole. The 49ers trade Trey Lance. The future just isn't what it used to be.

I recently had the honor of working with WSJ energy reporter @JenniferHiller providing her analysis and insights on the state NEVI award trends to date. If you don't have The Wall Street Journal access, I shared my contributions to the article in a LinkedIn post: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Replay of yesterday's LinkedIn Live interview with Darren Palmer, Ford's global head of EV programs - is available. Was a special edition of EV Insider LIVE, live from the Ford booth at the Detroit Auto Show. Thanks to Emma Bergg for help in setting it up. linkedin.com/events/7097202…

Q2 2023 BEV sales share ranged from a low of 0.57% in North Dakota, to a high of 23.3% in California . States Mean: 5.5% States Median: 4.0% The regional EV adoption chasm will continue for the next few decades ... US overall average is meaningless and provides no insights.

After months of very hard work by the Chargeway team I was very excited to take the stage at ElectrifyExpo today and announce version 2.0 of our mobile app. I truly hope all EV owners enjoy it. 🙂👍🏻 #chargeway #evcharging #ElectricCars #ElectricVehicles
