Honda explores hydrogen fuel-powered internal combustion engines with little mobility. Utah builds its fast-charging network. And those in the Apple ecosystem can tap into the Porsche Taycan’s power usage while navigating. This and more, at Green Car Reports.
Porsche Taycan drivers now have more navigation options. Apple Maps will harness Taycan’s energy usage and charging status, as well as the EV’s built-in Charge Planner, recommend stopping charging along the way. However, those switching navigation to iPhone and CarPlay won’t get the battery preconditions before peak power cut-off.
Rocky Mountain Power Regional Utility announced plans on Wednesday for 80 fast charging stations at 20 locations in Utah, with support from Electrify America. It is seeking federal NEVI funding for the stations, which will help fill charging corridors that allow EV drivers to cross the state.
And just this week, Honda has announced more details on several key hydrogen projects. On the one hand, it has confirmed plans to demonstrate a fuel-cell heavy-duty truck with Isuzu next year, with a market launch in 2027. On the other hand, it is looking at the potential role of the fuel cell.
