The consortium will develop best practices over two years.

Cirba Solutions recycles battery materials from automakers and the consumer electronics industry.

The lost profit opportunity breaks down to nearly $700,000 per dealership.

Developing a skilled work force to collaborate with global teams and partnering with automakers is necessary for scaling battery production, Gray says.

The share of new-vehicle shoppers who say they are very unlikely to purchase an EV has ticked up over the past three months.

Constructing public charging infrastructure for what will be hundreds of millions of electric vehicles is a time-consuming, complicated process. Automotive News looks at the challenge this week.

EVs could make up more than half of new cars within the next decade, but developing public charging infrastructure is a disjointed process that must be streamlined, industry experts say.

Too much infrastructure too soon, and charging companies could fail. Too little, and EV owners won't have enough options to charge on the road.

Alternative charging could fill in the gaps while a nationwide fast charging infrastructure is built.

Charging networks, research firms and automakers use data to fill charging gaps as EV sales climb.

Charging infrastructure requires workforce development and industry collaboration.

If the 17 states that follow the California Air Resources Board's limits on pollution also adopt California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule, three in four vehicles could be EVs by 2050, according to Energy Innovation.

An increase in EV supply and big incentives make EVs more affordable for mainstream consumers in the U.S., J.D. Power says.

Electric vehicle owners' satisfaction with the home charging experience declined last year because of high costs of charging, slow charging speed and limited charging education, says J.D. Power.

Coordination with utilities and city planning departments means meeting various automaker requirements is complicated.
