92 EV Chargers Installed At Bay Area Apartment Complex - CleanTechnica
Ninety-two electric vehicle (EV) chargers have been installed at the Woodland Creek apartment complex in East Palo Alto, California, as part of the Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) “EV Ready” program. This large-scale installation, officially launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 28, 2025, provides each household in the complex with its own smart charger. Unlike typical home chargers for single-family homes, these chargers operate on a “bring your own charging cord” system, requiring residents to use their own portable high-power cables. The chargers deliver a charging speed of 9.6 kW and are supplied with clean electricity from PCE, which offers this power at a discounted rate compared to PG&E. Before the installation, only five residents owned EVs, but since the chargers became available, two more residents have purchased electric vehicles, bringing the total to seven. The charging cost is set at $0.42 per kWh, reflecting the local utility rate, with

The all-new third-generation Nissan LEAF, unveiled in June 2025, introduces advanced technology designed to enhance the electric vehicle (EV) ownership experience and support everyday driving. A key feature is its intelligent route planner integrated with Google Automotive Services, which helps alleviate range anxiety by easily locating charging stations along routes. The LEAF also offers rapid charging capabilities, adding up to 250 km of range in just 14 minutes under optimal conditions, and supports North American Charging Standard (NACS) with Plug and Charge functionality in the U.S., streamlining the charging process. Beyond convenience, the LEAF incorporates smart battery management that adjusts cooling based on route conditions to optimize energy use, especially during demanding drives or fast charging in hot weather. It also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) connections, enabling owners to power devices up to 1500 watts for outdoor activities, and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) functionality in markets like Japan, allowing the vehicle to supply electricity back to
