These Massachusetts residents have a new, clean transportation option for errands they can’t reach by public transit.
Solar-powered EV carshare pilot launches in MassachusettsThe aim? To expand access to electric vehicles among lower-income residents of Massachusetts, which has big EV dreams as it tries to decarbonize.www.canarymedia.comIs a whole home battery backup system not in the cards? These cheaper, smaller batteries can still power essentials in an emergency.
Want a home battery on a budget? Consider a portable, DIY system.Power stations that recharge from the sun, a car, or a home outlet can keep appliances going in an outage. Some can even help lower electric bills.www.canarymedia.com
Spoke with @jeffstjohn.bsky.social about the new California EV incentive program, passed by the legislature & gov that launched off of white paper by Atlas Public Policy & EVs for All America. Check out the piece 👇🔌🚗 www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

In just the last few months, 11 states, including Maine, passed plug-in solar laws, and several more are still considering bills. But eager U.S. customers are not able to use the exact products sold across the Atlantic. | via @canarymedia.com mainemorningstar.com/2026/07/28/b...

California's new $270M incentive program is for first-time EV buyers only, because research shows once drivers try an EV, they stick with them. Can other states trying to backfill lost federal EV tax credits with tight budgets try the same approach? www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele... #energysky
