The holidays are coming: Thanksgiving in the US followed by Christmas and other solstice-adjacent celebrations. With that comes driving – the mad dash to grandma’s house, the beach, the airport.
Christmas is by far and away the busiest time for EV charging in Australia, and Google has just launched a new feature to make life just a little simpler for EV drivers – an estimate of how many stalls will be free when you arrive at a charger on your route.
With most charging networks now supplying live data to Google, now including Tesla as I wrote about recently in The Driven, Google has used its knowledge of charging behaviour to make predictions about when chargers will become free.
Google says that “EV charger availability predictions start rolling out next week on Android Auto and cars with Google built-in for hundreds of thousands of charging stations around the world.”
A growth strategy is only as good as its ability to adapt. While having a clear roadmap is essential, flexibility is key to sustaining growth in a constantly changing business landscape. Market conditions, customer preferences, and technology are all in flux, and businesses must remain nimble.
Your team plays a vital role in driving growth. As your business scales, ensuring that your employees are skilled, motivated, and aligned with your goals is critical. Investing in employee training and development not only boosts productivity but also fosters loyalty.
A skilled workforce is essential for managing increased demand and maintaining high standards. Employees who feel valued and supported are more likely to stay with the company long-term, reducing turnover costs and preserving institutional knowledge.
Offer regular training opportunities and clear career growth paths for your team. Encourage open communication to ensure that employees feel engaged and motivated to contribute to the business’s success.
