Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS. Importantly, Tesla is about to offer a converter that allows Teslas to use CCS charging sites. And the estimate was that about 80 percent of all the miles covered by Volt came from grid power, not from gasoline. Finally, age.
