Sharing cool articles from our friends in the Clean Energy Economy

Hi everyone! My name is Chelsa Anderson, and I am a Regulatory Consultant here at EcoEngineers. I recently started a new feature in our internal monthly newsletter that highlights news across the clean energy sectors.  I wanted to highlight some of the important and/or relevant Clean Energy Economy headlines from the past month with some help from our in-house experts. I’m calling the series ICYMI with Chelsa, and I hope you find it fun and enlightening!

Why did I choose these articles this month? As I am working on a client-driven electric vehicle study, I have found the need for the EV infrastructure very interesting and compelling. There is a lot of discussion happing about what is needed first, the electric vehicle or the charging infrastructure. People aren’t purchasing EVs because there is a lack of charging stations, but at the same time there is a lack of charging stations being built because there is a lack of EVs on the road.

In these articles I find it interesting on how Tesla is helping the lack of charging infrastructure and how artists are using their creativity and design for functionality.
