It was a Tesla Model S. At the time, I was one of eight Tesla owners in the entire state of Tennessee. We knew each other, or knew of each other, because there were so few of us that you could not really be anonymous about it. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/05/11/12-years-in.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/05/11/12-years-in.html Mon, 11 May 2026 00:10:00 -0700 Blog Zak Winnick By Zak Winnick https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/05/04/grid-bottleneck.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/05/04/grid-bottleneck.html Mon, 04 May 2026 06:00:00 -0700 Blog For most of the last decade, the EV charging industry has operated on a quiet assumption: passenger EVs and commercial fleets live in different worlds. Different drivers, different corridors, different use cases. You build for one or you build for the other, and you keep them separated. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/21/fleet-question.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/21/fleet-question.html Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0700 Blog Zak Winnick I was listening to the most recent episode of The eMobility Marketing Podcast where Theo Reichgelt sat down with Philip Meyer of Lazy Growth Partners to talk about building B2B pipeline through executive content on LinkedIn. Philip made a point that stuck with me: content isn’t a campaign, it’s pipeline infrastructure. He called it a trust layer, something you build consistently over time that makes people comfortable enough to raise their hand, often months after they first encountered your work. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/09/infrastructure-isnt-saas.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/09/infrastructure-isnt-saas.html Thu, 09 Apr 2026 06:15:00 -0700 Blog Zak Winnick Credit where it’s due: the industry is waking up. Comfortable lounges. Clean restrooms. Better lighting. Real amenities. Some operators are doing genuinely good work making the charging stop more pleasant. That progress matters, and it’s long overdue. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/01/hospitality-first.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/04/01/hospitality-first.html Wed, 01 Apr 2026 06:15:00 -0700 Blog Zak Winnick The numbers are in. Paren’s Q4 2025 State of the Industry Report confirms what the data has been showing for years: EV charging infrastructure is growing fast, but quality is what separates the networks that thrive from those that struggle. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/02/04/state-of-ev-charging-2025.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2026/02/04/state-of-ev-charging-2025.html Wed, 04 Feb 2026 06:15:00 -0800 Blog Rangeway Energy A recent Bloomberg feature dubbed America’s national parks the “final EV frontier” for charging infrastructure. The numbers tell the story: 332 million park visitors last year, roughly 100 charging stations across all 63 parks, and only 12 of the 20 largest parks offering any charging at all. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/29/20-minute-problem.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/29/20-minute-problem.html Mon, 29 Dec 2025 06:15:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick The EV charging industry is changing. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/19/new-generation.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/19/new-generation.html Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:15:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick When we set out to build Rangeway, we started with a simple belief: EV charging should be part of the journey, not an interruption to it. That philosophy shapes everything we do. It should also shape how we look. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/17/road-ahead.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/17/road-ahead.html Wed, 17 Dec 2025 06:10:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick The Question We Get Asked Most https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/10/building-different.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/10/building-different.html Wed, 10 Dec 2025 06:06:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick A story has been making the rounds in EV communities lately. An owner plugs in at a public charging station, walks into a nearby store to grab a few things, and returns to find their session failed after three minutes. The charger malfunctioned. But here’s where it gets interesting: despite the equipment failure, the network automatically charged the driver a penalty fee for “idling” at the station. Nearly $6 in fees on top of less than a dollar of actual electricity delivered. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/05/when-charging-goes-wrong.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/05/when-charging-goes-wrong.html Fri, 05 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick For years, the EV charging industry operated with a simple playbook: deploy chargers, move on, repeat. The thinking was that drivers just needed electricity, and everything else was a nice-to-have. Site selection was about grid capacity and traffic counts, not about creating places where people would actually want to spend time. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/01/hospitality-first.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/12/01/hospitality-first.html Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:05:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick The EV charging industry has reached a pivotal milestone: a 92.3% reliability score across the U.S. fast-charging network as of Q3 2025, according to Paren’s latest State of the Industry Report. This represents meaningful progress, reliability improved from 92.1% in Q2 2025, driven by new station deployments, retirement of poorly maintained legacy sites, and ongoing station refreshes. https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/11/05/92-Reliability-Threshold.html https://newsroom.rangeway.co/blog/2025/11/05/92-Reliability-Threshold.html Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:05:00 -0800 Blog Zak Winnick
