Elbilsmarknaden växer snabbare än förutspått och som en följd satsas stort på infrastruktur som laddstolpar.
Markets are shifting to EVs much faster than many had anticipated due to consumer interest and government mandates. That means automotive manufacturers are reaching out to electrical charge port developers, electrical grid operators, city planners, and policymakers to explore and establish robust electrical infrastructure and charge ports to meet the needs of a new generation of EVs.

Wetlands are repositories for carbon, and Louisiana wants to restore 21 square miles of land to the coast with a $3 billion project. It’s a good decision, as, without coastal restoration activity, the predicted wetland loss over the next 50 years could reduce carbon burial in coastal Louisiana to about 50% from the year 2013 rate, with potential to significantly alter the global carbon budget.
