Even after a legacy of supporting technologies, energy harvesting (the ability to scavenge energy from any source that physics affords us) has only graduated from emerging to emerging. This can be attributed to the drastic reduction in system power budgets resulting from Moore’s law and MEMS.  Can users imagine an entire sensor network, processor, and wireless communication (including a display!) with a system power budget of only a few milliwatts? Users no longer have to. Waste vs....

Is there a growing need to expand the role of public Charge Point Operators (CPO), beyond the obvious? Many analysts believe that as much as 80% of EV charging will be done at home, meaning that only 20% of EV charging will be accessible to corporate/enterprise chargers and/or public chargers. This begs the question, what proportion of that 20% can a single CPO (Charge Point Operator) target, and is that going to be enough to sustain the huge investments that the CPO business model demands? Or...
