The number of electric-vehicle charging stations in the US. The figure has doubled since 2021, and the federal government pledged $500 million to build more. Progress is slower than President Joe Biden’s target of 500,000 new chargers by 2030 requires, but zero-carbon technology is on the rise: The US Energy Information Administration said that more than 20 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity and battery storage were added to the country’s grid in the first half of this year, enough to power at least 15 million homes at full output. New battery capacity outstripped new natural gas capacity tenfold, Ars Technica noted.
