EV fast chargers have a surprising health downside
Hundreds of public fast chargers are popping up across the US to serve electric vehicle drivers seeking a cleaner alternative to gas-powered cars. But they come with a surprising risk: Charging stations create air pollution. While EVs contribute vastly less to air pollution than combustion-powered vehicles, fast-charging stations are what a recent study called an 'overlooked source of air pollution.' The US added 703 high-speed charging stations in the second quarter, bringing the total across the country to 11,400, according to Energy Department data. Charging firms are planning to install hundreds more before year-end, making it important to address health risks now before the infrastructure becomes entrenched. The problem 'can be solved,' said Yuan Yao, a co-author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles' Fielding School of Public Health. 'We want to make sure that EV adoption is clean.' The emissions are likely tied to the fans used in direct current fast chargers ' power cabinets. While they help keep equipment cool, the recent study indicates they likely have the unintended side effect of kicking up particles from tires, brakes and dust into the air. Researchers took air quality measurements at 50 direct current fast charging stations in Los Angeles County, California, the majority of which were Tesla Inc. Supercharger locations. The company didn't respond to a request for comment. The average concentration of fine particulate matter in the air at the charging sites was 15.2 micrograms per cubic meter, slightly higher than what researchers found at gas stations and significantly higher than in other urban locations such as parks. Nearly half of the charging sites had daily fine particulate matter emissions that exceeded the World Health Organization's air quality guidelines. (The study focused on non-exhaust emissions and therefore didn't measure many types of pollution related to gas-powered cars.) EV charging companies can include filtration in charging cabinets to mitigate pollution, the study's authors said. They can also avoid putting the chargers near places like schools and residential areas. Some companies say they've already taken measures to reduce the risks of particulate matter. 'On all of our current DC fast chargers, ChargePoint enforces a minimum height for the air intake and exhaust to limit the ingress of dust, debris and water,' said a spokesperson for ChargePoint Holdings Inc. , which operates the largest charging network in the US. The company plans to add air filters to its 'DC chargers to further reduce the risk of dust or water entering the system, or particulates being expelled.' Gas-powered cars are still a much more potent health risk, both because of their emissions and gas stations' environmental impact, said Joe Allen, an air quality expert and professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who was not involved in the study. Research shows fueling stations are major sources of volatile organic compounds, a category of chemicals that includes the carcinogen benzene, while internal combustion vehicles produce smog-forming pollutants. Greenhouse gas emissions also adversely affect health due to their influence on climate change. 'I'd much rather be charging my EV than filling my gas-powered car at the gas station,' Allen said. 'As we expand EV charging — especially fast-charging stations — we should also pay attention to potential emissions from the charging equipment itself,' Yao said.

White House Scorecard: US creates loyalty rating system for 533 firms. Here's why this matters
The White House has created a loyalty rating system or a scorecard that rates 533 companies and trade associations on how hard they worked to promote US President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill', reported the news portal Axios, citing a senior official aware of the development. This will allow the Trump administration to quickly understand how to approach the listed companies for future conversations and interactions, according to the news report. The scorecard will consider multiple factors while accounting for the overall support rating for the Trump administration, taking into account things like official social media posts, press releases, videos, advertisements, and attendance at the official White House events, as per the report. Based on these criteria, the companies will be ranked under three classifications: Strong, Moderate, or Low. The news portal also cited that there are "good" partners in the list like United, Delta, Uber, DoorDash, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association. It will help 'us see who really goes out and helps vs. those who just come in and pay lip service,' a person aware of the development told the news portal. They also highlighted that the grading system can change if the companies start 'advocating more' now for Trump's tax bill or other additional administrative policies. The dynamic scorecards 'incorporate the support of present and future administration initiatives,' a White House official told the news portal Forbes. Companies like Delta and United have supported Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' calling for a $12.5 billion investment for upgrading the Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, which came after a recent airline crash at the Reagan National Airport, reported the news portal Forbes. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the cab-hailing service, Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, also supported US President Donald Trump by donating $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund while publicly backing the "No Tax on Tips" policy via the megabill. Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, who also extended his support for Trump's bill and for the provisions of corporate tax it brings along with it, as per the report. One of the largest tech companies in the world, Apple, is also likely in the good books of US President Donald Trump as the iPhone maker has committed $600 billion into domestic manufacturing, which is expected to bring tens of thousands of hobs in the US economy. Some companies will also be in focus like, Amazon, Meta and Google who have pulled back on aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion targeted by the Trump administration, while others like Bank of America and JPMorgan will be at watch after rejecting him as a customer, according to the Forbes report.

These automation-friendly solutions improve precision, consistency, and cost efficiency in large-scale production. Durability Across Extreme Conditions EVs face harsh environments, from freezing winters to scorching summers. Adhesives provide superior resistance to vibration, moisture, and thermal cycling, ensuring long-lasting reliability that builds consumer confidence. Driving Sustainability & Circular Design Sustainability is central to automotive evolution. Eco-friendly and debondable adhesives are enabling recyclability and circular design, while low-VOC and bio-based formulations align with global green mandates. Regional Market Insights Asia Pacific, led by China, dominates EV adhesive adoption due to large-scale production and battery manufacturing. Europe is driven by strict emission norms, while North America benefits from EV infrastructure growth. Fairfield notes regional opportunities ranging from cost-efficient bonding in Asia to premium, high-performance adhesives in Western markets. Innovation & Industry Leadership The competitive landscape is defined by R&D in hybrid adhesives, bio-based formulations, and smart bonding technologies. Strategic collaborations among automakers, adhesive suppliers, and battery manufacturers are accelerating the commercialization of breakthrough solutions. Adhesives as Catalysts of E-Mobility From safety and lightweighting to thermal efficiency and sustainability, adhesives are emerging as a cornerstone of modern EV manufacturing. Fairfield Market Research concludes that adhesives are not just supporting components but key catalysts shaping the future of electric mobility—making EVs safer, faster, and smarter.
