The Mumbai-based auto major on Monday launched a midsize SUV coupe <keyword id="20400827" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Curvv" source="keywords">Curvv</keyword> with petrol and diesel powertrains with a price starting at Rs 9.99 lakh. The company has already unveiled the electric version of the model in August. The model would be competing with the likes of <keyword id="2883300" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyundai-Creta" source="Orion">Hyundai Creta</keyword>, <keyword id="7720018" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kia-Seltos" source="Orion">Kia Seltos</keyword>, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and Honda Elevate, among others. "Curvv is being positioned in the fast-growing, mid-size SUV segment, which is roughly 16% of the whole industry (passenger vehicle) size. If translated into numbers, it would be like 7 lakh units a year," Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle MD Shailesh Chandra told PTI in an interaction. The segment is very competitive with various brands having a product already in the market, he noted. Therefore, if one enters this segment so late, then it will have to think of coming up with a slightly differentiated approach, Chandra said. "And that was the thinking behind Curvv, which comes with an SUV coupe body style. We saw that this was gaining popularity globally, especially in the premium or luxury segment," he added. Further, he said: "So we thought, why don't we bring this into the crowded segment as a fresh, refreshing kind of a body style." When asked about sales expectations from the model, Chandra said: "We have come with this model, with the best in class features. It's a differentiated product in this and therefore we think it is going to perform well." He noted that Tata Motors currently has a market share of around 19% in the SUV segment and expects the new model to help it grow further. "We'll gain from where we are. The market leader in SUVs would be, say, 21-22 %, so it's a crowded segment. It's not that one player is holding the roost here. "All the top 3-4 players in SUVs are around the same market share figure," Chandra said. He noted that the company is also looking to enhance its dealer network by around 10-15 % in the next one year. "We have a very aggressive plan of expanding dealerships. We will need to have an enhanced network. We will have to make them bigger, also in size. And therefore, for EVs, we have started separation of the outlets. So there will be expansion in touchpoints, not only on the sales side, but big time on the service side as well," Chandra said. <keyword id="20400828" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-curvv" source="keywords">Tata Curvv</keyword> comes with two petrol and a diesel engine option. "The introduction of the Curvv further enhances our SUV portfolio as a comprehensive mid-SUV product with multiple powertrains, several first-in-segment features, a brand new capable architecture - ATLAS and Level 2 ADAS," Chandra said. Besides Curvv, Tata Motors sells models like Punch, Nexon, Harrier and Safari in the domestic market.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has stopped taking new registrations for its VIP service. </li><li>The airport said on its website that the temporary closure is due to the large volume of requests.</li></ul>One of Europe's largest airports has temporarily closed its VIP Service to new members after being inundated with requests to use it.The service allowed passengers to skip the lines at airports, among other perks."These are busy times in the Schiphol VIP centre," Amsterdam Schiphol Airport — <a href="https://www.oag.com/busiest-airports-world">one of the world's busiest airports </a>— posted a <a href="https://www.schiphol.nl/en/page/vip-service-rates/">statement</a> on its webpage, notifying customers that it could no longer accept reservations from new customers. "Due to the large volume of requests, we can only accommodate VIP service for our regular guests," the post said. The airport has also closed its Privium Service to new members because of labor shortages combined with large numbers of applications, its <a href="https://www.schiphol.nl/en/privium/">website</a> says. The VIP service has a starting price of 617.10 euros, including Value Added Tax (VAT), for a single passenger and gives customers access to the airport's VIP Centre, and VIP lounges. It includes private security check-in, as well as baggage handling, and transport via a luxury vehicle. The starting price for a single passenger to use the service during a transfer is 834.90 euros with an extra 411.40 euros payable per additional person. Both prices include VAT. Guests can pay to add other extras.A spokesperson for the airport told Insider: "The VIP service will only be available for regular guests in the coming period, we can hardly accommodate requests from new guests who have not used the VIP service before. We are working on expanding the number of staff, at the same time it has always been an exclusive service."Like many of the major transport hubs around the world, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/schiphol-airport-amsterdam-photos-security-staff-shortages-europe-flight-2022-6">the airport was the scene of long lines, mass delays, and cancellations over the summer</a> as pent-up demand for travel reached its peak.

It's not the only aviation organization that's having to adapt its service following the pandemic. On Thursday, American Airlines' chief commercial officer, Vasu Raja, said that the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/american-airlines-ditching-first-class-seats-passengers-arent-buying-it-2022-10">carrier is scrapping first class on long-haul international flights because customers are no longer buying it</a>.

As per the report, the SUV segment topped the chart in 4-wheelers and Hyundai Creta continued to be the most preferred choice followed by Kia Seltos which made its way up the list quickly becoming the new favourite among buyers. They were followed by Maruti <keyword id="5894046" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="suzuki-vitara-brezza" source="Orion">Suzuki Vitara Brezza</keyword>, Toyota <keyword id="3231108" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="innova-crysta" source="Orion">Innova Crysta</keyword> and Toyota Fortuner. Bajaj Pulsar emerged as the top preference in 2-wheelers followed by Hero Splendor Plus, Bajaj Pulsar NS, TVS Apache RTR, and Honda CB Shine. In the luxury vehicle segment, the Mercedes Benz E-Class became the most preferred luxury car followed by Jeep Compass, Mercedes Benz C Class and BMW5 Series whereas, in the 2-wheeler segment, Royal Enfield Interceptor came up in ranks and became a hot favourite followed by Harley Davidson Street 750 and <keyword id="480564" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kawasaki-ninja" source="Orion">Kawasaki Ninja</keyword> ZX-10R. The share of an automatic transmission is on a steady rise from CY 2015 when it was 23 per cent to 33 per cent in CY 2022, up from 30 per cent in CY 2021 because of convenience and higher fuel efficiency and EV penetration continues to remain stagnant at 1 per cent of total vehicle sales across categories in India. The share of diesel vehicles fell from 60 per cent in CY21 to 53 per cent in CY22 due to the vehicle scrappage policy barring diesel vehicles older than 10 years from plying on the streets Premiumization is a trend in India heightened by Droom's pure-play e-commerce model, resulting in the average selling price for cars standing at 11.98 lakh and bikes being 55 thousand. This is primarily because physically branded dealers tend to focus only on mass-market whereas Droom caters to mass, mid, premium and luxury segment. Commenting on Droom's annual automobile trend report CY 2022, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Droom said, "The automobile trend report of 2022 shows steady growth in the overall automobile market.

There is also a gradual but steady adoption of electric vehicles which will expand in the coming future."

The platform has seen significant growth in online buying with Delhi, Bangalore, Jaipur, and Hyderabad emerging as the largest markets for online transaction in CY2022. While online automobile selling and buying is prevalent in metro cities, the trend is also catching onto other cities like Bhiwani, Sangli, Ajmer, Sirsa, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Surat and Ghaziabad.

While automakers have traditionally operated in a protectionist manner when it comes to vehicle data and the in-car experience, they are starting to change their tune after getting push back from consumers. Simply put, automakers are realizing they can't provide the same type of digital experience as tech giants. As such, big tech firms will have more opportunities to bring their services to new digital platforms and expand the number of touchpoints they have with their users. This will ultimately ramp up competition for consumers' time in vehicles as internet-connected cars <a href="https://e.businessinsider.com/click/18000414.3/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UuYnVzaW5lc3NpbnNpZGVyLmNvbS9wb3N0L2F1dG9tYWtlcnMtbmVlZC10by1nZXQtY3JlYXRpdmUtdG8tbWF4aW1pemUtcmV2ZW51ZS1mcm9tLWNvbm5lY3RlZC1jYXItZGF0YS0yMDE4LTg/5d233c18f730436f2414784fB4a56a7bd" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://e.businessinsider.com/click/18000414.3/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UuYnVzaW5lc3NpbnNpZGVyLmNvbS9wb3N0L2F1dG9tYWtlcnMtbmVlZC10by1nZXQtY3JlYXRpdmUtdG8tbWF4aW1pemUtcmV2ZW51ZS1mcm9tLWNvbm5lY3RlZC1jYXItZGF0YS0yMDE4LTg/5d233c18f730436f2414784fB4a56a7bd&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1568118453870000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGou-Sg9fhfZZRb7mpX99TKhiYnGg">become</a> the industry norm.Interested in getting the full story?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Jared Leisek is the founder of 'Adventures With Purpose,' a widely-lauded true crime YouTube channel.</li><li>Leisek was arrested on January 5 in Utah on suspicion of child rape charges, according to jail records.</li></ul>Content note: This story mentions some details about the alleged rape.Jared Leisek, the founder of a widely-lauded YouTube collective dedicated to solving cold cases by conducting search and recovery dives, was booked in a Utah jail last week for the rape of a child in the early '90s, according to <a href="https://www.sanpete.com/uploads/1/3/6/2/136253634/1-9-2023.pdf">jail records</a> for the Sanpete County Sheriff's Department.According to an indictment obtained by Insider dated January 10, the alleged rape occurred in 1992, when the victim was 10 years old and Leisek was either 16 or 17. Utah does not have a statute of limitations on rape."The defendant and the victim are cousins," reads the probable cause statement, alleging that the incident occurred in Ephraim, Utah, in the victim's bedroom, after Leisek pinned her to the ground and pulled her underwear down. Leisek's booking follows a criminal complaint filed by prosecutors in November 2022, <a href="https://people.com/crime/founder-adventures-with-purpose-search-rescue-team-arrested-allegedly-raping-girl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to People</a>. Though Leisek was initially charged with two counts of child rape against the same victim, the second charge — that allegedly occurred the same year at a grandparent's house — has been dropped, per People. The status and future of the "Adventures With Purpose," or AWP, channel, which has 2.8 million subscribers, is unclear. Two weeks ago, in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxuBLqy8FK6MpiZDLFiOHt_ujwTJKfXb9n">Community post</a>, the channel announced that "Jared is stepping back in as Team Leader with a new crew."Lead diver Doug Bishop, who has appeared in recent videos on the channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMokMcrbAw&amp;t=2s">addressed the situation</a> on his personal channel in early November. "What happened 30 years ago has come to light and is affecting everybody involved with this," he said, noting that there were "contracts in place" that impacted his ability to speak on the situation. According to its <a href="https://adventureswithpurpose.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, AWP has solved 26 missing person cold cases to date by harnessing sonar technology to dredge up sunken vehicles and drowning victims.Its services are provided free to families, it says, and are funded by viewer donations, merch sales, and revenue it makes from YouTube traffic.The group most recently garnered headlines for finding <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/adventures-with-purpose-who-found-kiely-rodni-have-solved-23-other-cold-cases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kiely Rodni</a> — a 16-year-old who went missing in August after attending a campground party, and whose body was recovered in a nearby reservoir. When reached, a legal assistant for Leisek's attorney, Randall Richards, declined to comment. Insider has reached back out to the Sanpete County Sheriff's Department for more information about Leisek's arrest and bail.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Electric car charging stations have major reliability issues, a new study found. </li><li>More than 25% of charging stations in California's Bay Area were unusable, according to researchers.</li></ul>As the global auto industry spends billions to go green, the number of electric-car charging stations in the US is growing rapidly. But quantity isn't everything — and the quality of many of those stations is lacking. A study of public electric-vehicle stations in California's Bay Area found that only 72.5% of chargers were operational. California has by far the <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/02/25/california-leads-the-nations-zev-market-surpassing-1-million-electric-vehicles-sold/#:~:text=Over%20the%20past%2010%20years,other%20zero%2Demission%20vehicle%20metrics%2C">most electric car owners</a> of any state and has been a leader in electric and hybrid vehicles for years. But its charging infrastructure shows major reliability issues, the study, first reported by the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/California-electric-cars-17152513.php">San Francisco Chronicle</a>, found. The <a href="https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2203/2203.16372.pdf">survey</a> was conducted by David Rempel, a retired professor of bioengineering at the University of California Berkeley, and Cool the Earth, a nonprofit focused on cutting carbon emissions. Volunteers visited 181 public DC fast-charging stations and tested the 657 individual charging plugs. A connector was labeled functional if it successfully charged an EV for two minutes or if volunteers observed an electric car was already charging. DC fast-chargers, sometimes called Level 3, are the most powerful <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-charge-electric-car-tesla-2021-10">type of charger</a> and offer the quickest charge. Tesla Supercharger locations were not included in the survey because they only serve Tesla cars. A total of 22.7% of connectors were non-functioning due to problems including network connectivity issues, broken plugs, unresponsive screens, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-charge-an-electric-car-2022-3">payment system failures</a>. Around 5% of connectors had cables that were too short to reach an EV's charging port, rendering them unusable. The findings mirror what Insider has experienced while testing EVs in the Northeast, where charging stations are plentiful but often broken or awaiting service. The study also contributes to a mounting body of research indicating that charging needs to become more convenient in order for mass adoption of battery-powered vehicles to occur.A <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/EVSE%20Standards%20Technology%20Review%204Feb22.pdf">survey</a> of 1,290 electric-car drivers by a California government agency found that 44% of owners saw operability or payment issues as barriers to charging. The situation could improve as <keyword id="6358835" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="electric-cars" source="Orion">electric cars</keyword> grow in popularity and funding flows into the charging space. The White House <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-electric-car-charging-stations-national-network-plan-tesla-2022-2">announced</a> in February it will provide $5 billion to help states shore up their charging infrastructure along major highways.

Electric-car charging stations are becoming more common, but there's still one huge problem: Tons of them don't work

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Carlos Bonilla, 22, enrolled in a two-year automotive technician training program with Ford.</li><li>He said it helped him prepare for success in a job he loves.</li></ul>When Carlos Bonilla was in high school, he didn't know what he wanted to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-research-substitute-passion-purpose-career-happiness-2019-11">do with his life</a>. To explore some of his interests, the Miami-based 22-year-old told Insider he tried a <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/researchers-take-aim-at-making-dual-enrollment-more-equitable-1031599990">dual enrollment program</a> that allowed him to take courses at a local <a href="https://www.sheridantechnicalcollege.edu/career-dual-enrollment/">community college</a> while working toward his high school diploma. After liking — but not loving — an aviation course, he decided to give an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cars-mobile">automotive</a> one a try. He said he learned about vehicle makes and models, the brake and fuel systems, the transmission, the engine, and much more. It was a great fit. "As soon as I went in, I loved it," he said.He began looking for ways to explore this interest after graduation and eventually found the <a href="https://www.newfordtech.com/Programs/ASSET/Overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ford ASSET program</a>, a two-year paid internship that gives participants the opportunity to alternate between classroom learning and working in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ford-electric-vehicle-inventory-problem-trying-to-beat-tesla-2023-7">Ford</a> or Lincoln dealer. The program, which dates back to 1986, partners with <a href="https://www.newfordtech.com/Programs/ASSET/Overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">40</a> community colleges and technical schools across the country — most participants are recent high school graduates. Bonilla's program was at <a href="https://www.sheridantechnicalcollege.edu/">Sheridan Technical College</a>, the same place he took the automotive course back in high school.<div type="image" title="Carlos Bonilla" height="782" width="1041" msid="102544729" hostid="261"></div>A Ford representative told Insider that tuition for the program varies by community college but averages roughly $15,000 for the two years, though some dealers provide tuition reimbursement. According to Bonilla's tuition bills viewed by Insider, he paid roughly $9,000, and it was not reimbursed. But he said it was "totally worth it." "I loved learning everything about the cars, loved working with my hands, seeing how everything works, fixing it," he said. This type of program is a good fit for young people like Bonilla who aren't sure if the traditional college path — and the mountain of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-the-latest-lawsuit-block-student-loan-debt-forgiveness-2023-8">student debt</a> that comes with it — are a good fit. It's a win-win for companies in growing industries like electric vehicles, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/semiconductor-certification-program-chipmaker-manufacturing-jobs-new-career-intel-tsmc-2023-8">semiconductor manufacturing</a>, and renewable energy, many of whom are struggling to attract workers with the technical skills they need. As car manufacturers increase their <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-electric-car-auto-industry-jobs-layoffs-employment-ford-2022-8">investment in electric vehicles</a>, for instance, there's rising <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/automakers-jobs-desperate-workers-fuel-electric-vehicle-transition-batteries-2022-12">demand for the workers</a> who will build these vehicles and — once they're on the road — maintain and repair them at car dealers across the country. As a result, the ASSET program has incorporated more electric vehicle instruction into its curriculum, a Ford representative told Insider. In recent years, many companies across the US have begun working with schools to — like Ford — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-investing-retraining-upskilling-reskilling-2020-10#in-june-bank-of-america-announced-a-1-billion-commitment-to-help-combat-racial-injustice-which-included-a-program-to-upskill-and-reskill-thousands-of-americans-2">attract and train</a> the workers they need. <h2>A mix of training and work experience helped jump-start his career</h2>The ASSET program's schedule switches every six to eight weeks. During the schooling period, participants spend roughly five hours in the classroom, Bonilla said, before traveling to their appointed dealership to work for the next five to seven hours. After these six to eight weeks are up, the students spend the next period working a full-time, paid position at the dealer. Then the cycle repeats.After two years, individuals earn an Associate's degree, and many have the opportunity to start working full-time at their dealer. <div type="image" title="Carlos Bonilla" height="782" width="1041" msid="102544731" hostid="261"></div>Bonilla said the program, which he graduated from last year, made him confident he had made the right career choice. He's now working full-time as a technician at the Doral Lincoln dealer in Miami. Pay varies by dealer, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median annual wage of automotive service technicians and mechanics at roughly <a href="https://www.bls.gov/oes/2019/may/oes493023.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$42,000</a> per year. In a few months, Bonilla said he'll become eligible to become a master technician, which requires five years of experience and the completion of certain classes. He said he expects the new position to come with greater responsibility and higher pay.Even though he's done with the program, Bonilla has had other opportunities to continue his education in the field. He said his dealer paid for him to get a variety of certifications, including one that allows him to work on hybrid and electric vehicles. He said he believes this skill set will be valuable in the future as these vehicles become more popular. On the whole, Bonilla said he's very satisfied with his job. "I love what I do, plain and simple," he said. "I come into work excited to work on these cars, to figure out these electrical problems, to work on these heavy lines. I just like what I do."The toughest part about his gig is that his workplace can get very hot — he said the dealer he works at doesn't have any air conditioning. Going forward, Bonilla said he plans to learn and get better every day. He has some advice for other young people who are struggling to figure out what they want to do for a career. "Figure out what you like and find a career path that revolves around what you love," he said. "That way you don't have to work a single day in your life."

More than half of Tesla owners would consider buying an Apple car in the future, according to the survey.Apple also had the highest "quality impression", with a score of 24% compared to 15% for Toyota and 11% for Tesla. But a further 34% said they didn't know enough about the car to make a judgement given the lack of information. "Of course, what Apple ultimately presents in terms of styling, powertrain, product, and other key features will finally determine the level of interest generated among car shoppers," said Strategic Vision's Alexander Edwards."However, their brand awareness and reputation provide a formidable platform that automotive manufacturers should brace themselves for accordingly."Apple hasn't made any announcement about producing a car, but has long hinted about building one under the codename "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-car-electric-vehicle-autonomous-tim-cook-project-titan-2021-4">Project Titan</a>". <div type="image" title="Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks at an Apple event at their headquarters in Cupertino, California, U.S. September 10, 2019." height="1325" width="1766" msid="93969338" hostid="261" sizebytes="31664"></div>The idea was first mooted by CEO Tim Cook <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-13/cook-says-apple-is-focusing-on-making-an-autonomous-car-system">in a Bloomberg interview</a> in 2017, before The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/22/technology/apple-self-driving-car.html">reported</a> that it was shelving plans to focus on driving technology for other car makers.Last year Cook again talked up Apple's interest in building autonomous vehicles to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/opinion/apples-ceo-is-making-very-different-choices-from-mark-zuckerberg.html">The Times last year</a>, while also declaring his admiration for Tesla. "An autonomous car is a robot and so there are a lot of things you can do with autonomy. We will see what Apple does," Cook told the Sway podcast. "We love to integrate hardware, software, and services, and find the intersection points of those because we think that's where the magic occurs."However, Cook admitted that many of the company's ideas "never see the light of day".

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Charging stations are popping up every day, but they still can be tough to come by. </li><li>Fortunately, there are lots of ways to find places to charge up an electric vehicle. </li><li>Manufacturer apps, third-party services, and charging providers are all useful for finding plugs.</li></ul><keyword id="11897958" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="electric-vehicles" source="Orion">Electric vehicles</keyword> are taking roads by storm. But lots of drivers, even ones eager to help usher in a greener future, are too <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/electric-car-owners-switching-gas-charging-a-hassle-study-2021-4">worried about charging up</a> to make the switch. They may have a point. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-charging-outfits-can-cash-in-on-infrastructure-deals-75-billion-2021-7">Charging infrastructure</a> will need to get a lot better if we want to get millions more Americans into battery-powered rides in the next decade. And there's no doubt that gas pumps are much easier to come by than charging stations. Still, if you know where to look, it's simple to find a place to charge up your EV in many parts of the country.<h2>Manufacturer apps</h2>A handful of car companies offer their own mobile apps or in-car solutions for locating charging stations and paying for them. If you own a car from one of these manufacturers, this can be the most convenient method for finding spots to plug in.Tesla has a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-supercharger-network-versus-other-electric-car-chargers-2020-4">clear edge</a> in this regard, as it runs its own charging network with thousands of stations. Tesla owners can use an app or their car's infotainment system to sift through nearby locations and see if any plugs are available. They can also plan routes that account for stopping to charge. BMW, for example, lets owners search for public chargers through the BMW Charging app.Some automakers have started cobbling together their own charging networks by making deals with existing charging providers and slapping on new branding. This is their way of making charging convenient and seamless without spending billions on a vast, Tesla-like network. The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-ev-coolest-features-frunk-driver-assistance-2021-8">FordPass</a> charging network, for instance, counts 16,000 stations run by companies like ChargePoint, EVgo, and Electrify America. Ford's app lets owners pay for in-network charging, check plug availability, and plan trips. General Motors is working on a similar Ultium Charge 360 service in partnership with seven charging providers. Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-charging-outfits-can-cash-in-on-infrastructure-deals-75-billion-2021-7">The new infrastructure deal would drop $7.5 billion to build a national network of electric vehicle chargers. These 4 companies are poised to cash in.</a><h2>Third-party services</h2>Numerous third-party apps and websites can help EV owners find places to replenish their vehicles' batteries. A quick search for "<keyword id="12000721" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ev-charging" source="Orion">EV charging</keyword> stations" on Google Maps can do the trick. For any given location that pops up, Google will tell you how many plugs are available to use, the level of charging, and the type of connector present. There are also a host of dedicated platforms - <a href="https://www.plugshare.com/">PlugShare</a> and <a href="https://chargehub.com/en/index.html">ChargeHub</a> being two of the most popular - that let users search for stations across major charging networks. Both allow users to plan trips and filter search results by connector type, charger power, network, and other features. PlugShare users can also filter for stations with the highest user ratings or for locations with amenities like WiFi.<h2>Individual charging networks</h2>The last and probably most tedious way to find chargers is to check each of the major networks individually. EVgo, ChargePoint, Electrify America, Volta, and others offer the ability to search for nearby chargers, check the level of charging on offer, and see if plugs are in use. Tesla says it will soon open up its massive Supercharger network to owners of other <keyword id="11947664" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="evs" source="Orion">EVs</keyword>, too. This isn't necessarily the most efficient method of finding a place to juice up, but if you subscribe to a company's network or just prefer a certain provider's chargers, this may be the way to go. Plus, Google Maps and other third-party sites may not always be as up to date as a charging company's own directory.
