EV charging has improved over the years, but it’s still unable to support the number of electric vehicles the Biden Administration wants to see on the road in the next few years. The administration’s $7.5 billion EV charging initiative is supposed to help solve that problem. And now, we finally have clarity around what it will take for companies to access those funds.

The Biden administration laid out the final standards for its plan to build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers along highways, including a requirement that all EV chargers funded through the ច្បាប់កាត់បន្ថយអតិផរណា must be built in the United States. Specifically, the final assembly and all manufacturing processes for any iron or steel charger enclosures or housing must occur in the United States. And by July 2024, at least 55% of the cost of all components will need to be manufactured domestically, as well.

All chargers are also required to use a standardized payment system that is smartphone-friendly and all connectors must use the “combined charging system” (CCS), which dominates in the U.S.

Will this be enough to solve the U.S. EV infrastructure problem? Or does the plan miss some critical points? Let me know what you think and I’ll share it in the next newsletter.

OK, let’s dive into the rest of the news of the week.

The Zoox robotaxi made its inaugural launch on public roads last weekend. For now, the robotaxi will only carry Zoox employees on a roughly 2-mile loop between the company’s two main offices in Foster City, California. (There are more permits to garner before Zoox can launch a commercial operation.)

The scope of Zoox’s launch on public roads is limited; however, it does mark another milestone for a company that launched quietly eight years ago with an ambitious goal to build and operate a commercial robotaxi service with its own purpose-built vehicle.

Aurora’s operating expenses in Q4 were $156 million, $131 million of which was spent on R&D and the rest on SG&A. For the full year, Aurora’s operating expenses were $650 million in total, with $540 million spent on R&D, primarily comprised of personal costs, according to the company. Investors reacted favorably to Aurora’s earnings report, likely because guidance remained unchanged.

ហ្គូកូ took nearly a 10% hit to its stock price after it reported weak earnings for the fourth quarter. Gogoro made $95.5 million in revenue in Q4, which is down 20.8% YOY. The company blamed foreign exchange rates for this, saying that revenue would have been up an additional $12.4 million had rates remained constant with the average rate of Q4 2021. For the full year, Gogoro pulled revenue of $382.8 million, up 4.6% YOY.

The battery swapping company reported a fourth quarter net loss of $12.5 million and a full year net loss of $98.9 million. Gogoro ended 2022 with $236.1 million in cash. The company said it expects revenue for 2023 to land between $400 million and $450 million, an increase of 4.5% to 17.6% compared to 2022. Gogoro said it expects most of that revenue to come from its Taiwan market, despite heavy investment in other markets like India.

ក្រុមហ៊ុន tesla

ក្រុមហ៊ុន tesla is one of those companies that never seems to have a quiet period. There is always something going on with the company, or its CEO លោក Elon Musk. And this week was no different. The big three Tesla stories this week involve unions, Biden’s $7.5B EV charging initiative and a recall of its Full Self-Driving software.

We covered some of the Biden EV charging business up top. Tesla is a big part of that announcement because the company has agreed to open up a portion of its Supercharger and destination charger network to non-Tesla EVs. The company will make at least 7,500 chargers available for all EVs by the end of 2024, according to the White House. At least 3,500 of those will be 250 kW chargers located along highway corridors. All EV drivers will be able to access these stations using the Tesla app or website.

Notably, Tesla has also agreed to more than double its supercharger network. TechCrunch’s Tim de Chant weighs in (over at TC+) on តើនេះអាចមានន័យយ៉ាងណា for the automaker.

Meanwhile, trouble is afoot at the company’s Buffalo, New York factory. A group of Tesla employees (known as Tesla Workers United) who work as data labelers on the Autopilot team at the Buffalo plant, announced ផែនការរៀបចំសហជីព. A day later, the group បានដាក់បណ្តឹង with the National Labor Relations Board claiming that Tesla fired more than 30 employees who work at the factory in retaliation for union organizing.

And, unsurprisingly, Tesla ត្រលប់មកវិញ and called the allegations false. The Tesla Workers United was not amused and held a press conference Saturday to discuss its ongoing union campaign and company’s response to their efforts, including the claims that their Twitter account has been shadowbanned.

This could get ugly.

Finally, we wrap up the Tesla section with a recall of the company’s “Full Self-Driving” software, an advanced driver-assistance system that federal safety regulators say could allow vehicles to act unsafe around intersections and cause crashes.

Tesla said the recall affects 362,758 vehicles equipped with the software (I guess we now know how many folks have FSD). Tesla will release an over-the-air software update, free of charge, to fix the issue.

I got lots of DMs and emails about how we shouldn’t call this a recall because it’s not a mechanical problem. An over-the-air software update should not be called a recall!, many of you exclaimed. That’s the accepted terminology used by both companies, so I’m not calling it anything different.

And, consider this: software is just as critical to a vehicle’s safe operations as its mechanical bits. It all matters!
