Electric vehicle charging: everything you need to know /blog/electric-vehicle-charging-everything-you-need-to-know Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:25:15 +0000 /?p=18035 Many drivers may be hesitant to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) simply because of uncertainty about how to recharge the battery. After all, gas stations seem to be pretty much everywhere and EV chargers can be harder to scope out.

But as it turns out, EV charging stations are abundant in the U.S., and EV charging can be explained easily. Here’s what you need to know about refilling an EV battery and how it all works.

Kilowatts vs. kilowatt-hours

The first step to understanding EV charging is knowing the difference between kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt-hours (kWh).

  • Kilowatts (kW)measure how much power is being used at a given moment. You may see a charging station’s output expressed in kW.
  • Kilowatt-hours (kWh)measure the amount of power used over a given amount of time (energy consumption). How much you’ll be charged for EV charging is expressed in kWh.

Charging levels explained

EV chargers are characterized by levels, instead of grades. These levels determine how quickly a charger will take to recharge an EV’s battery — 1 taking the longest, while DC fast charging is fastest.

  • Level 1 (L1)chargers supply an average of 1.3-2.4 kW of power. That translates to about 3-5 miles of range per hour, meaning it can take 15-24 hours to fully charge an EV.
  • Level 2 (L2)chargers output between 3 and 19 kW of power. L2 chargers can add 18-28 miles of range each hour, fully recharging an EV in four to eight hours.Entergy’s eTech program offers customers an
  • Direct-Current Fast Chargers (DCFC)formerly called Level 3 and can output a maximum of 350 kW. They can fill an EV battery to 80% capacity in 20-40 minutes and fully recharge in 60-90 minutes.

Both L1 and L2 chargers use alternating current (AC) power, while DC fast charging uses direct current (DC). L1 chargers use standard 120-volt plugs, L2 chargers use 240-volt, and DCFC use 480-volt plugs.

Public vs. private charging

Now it’s time to get into where you can charge. Charging stations can have multiple charging devices, which can have multiple charging points. That means a charging station’s capacity is determined by the number of available charging points. But what are the differences between public and private charging stations?

Public chargingis the EV version of fueling at gas stations. Public charging stations are often located off main roads, close to shopping centers and restaurants. They typically use Level 2 or 3 charging and have more charging points than private stations. These stations may be free, while others may charge a fee. Billing rates are determined by the charging networks or site hosts and can range from $0.10/kWh to over 1.00/kWh.

Private chargingstations are not available for everyone’s use. Many private stations are located in residential or office buildings and can only be used by residents and employees. Level 1 and 2 chargers are most common in these spaces. Electricity from residential L1 chargers can cost an average $0.13 per kWh, while office buildings may charge more for L2 charging.

Optimizing your charging schedule

Planning ahead is important to ensure you have time to reach a full charge. If you don’t have access to a charging station at home or work, you’ll need to determine where the most convenient charging spot is. The,and other resources allow you to search by zip code, charging level and more. This makes it easy to find the right charging station that meets your needs.

Now that you know how EV charging works, you can feel comfortable and secure taking your EV on daily drives or eco-friendly adventures. If you’re considering whether EVs could be right for you or your business, check out our 6-part podcast series called

Breathe easy with better household ventilation /blog/breathe-easy-with-better-household-ventilation Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:15:55 +0000 /?p=18032 All homes need plenty of fresh outside air to reduce moisture and ensure proper indoor air quality. Although tight, well-sealed homes are energy efficient, poor ventilation can lead to mold and mildew problems, as well as health concerns due to indoor air pollutants. A well-designed ventilation system can keep your home supplied with fresh, healthy outdoor air while minimizing energy losses.

Go natural

Although homes have been ventilated for centuries through open windows or unsealed gaps, natural or passive ventilation can also be a part of a more elaborate design approach that includes cross and convective ventilation.

In cross ventilation, a certain amount of air enters through an opening on one side of your home, while the same amount exits on the other. With convective ventilation, differences in air pressure force air through the home. The amount of fresh air depends on the placement of attic vents, solar chimneys and other ventilation devices.

Natural ventilation has limited effectiveness in cold or humid weather or in areas such as bathrooms where humidity levels can be high. Adding mechanical ventilation can help keep your home properly ventilated in these areas.

Hit the spot

Spot ventilation involves using localized exhaust fans in bathrooms or kitchens to remove moisture or pollutants at their source before they become a problem. Bathroom fans are typically ceiling-mounted, while kitchen fans are often located in the range hood.

Fans should exhaust directly outside, rather than in the attic, where they can cause moisture problems or back-draft into the home. Locate exhaust vents as far as possible from heating and cooling registers to minimize the amount of conditioned air that is exhausted with the polluted air.

Consider the whole

Whole-house ventilation systems use fans and ducts to exhaust stale air out of a home and bring fresh air in. There are four types of systems:

  • Exhaust ventilationuses a central exhaust fan, typically located in the attic, to reduce the indoor air pressure and bring make-up air in through vents in the outer walls.
  • Supply ventilationbrings fresh air in with a fan and forces stale air out through holes or vents.
  • Balanced ventilationis designed to supply and remove equal amounts of air. Air is exhausted from rooms where moisture or pollutants are generated, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Balanced systems are effective in all climates but are more expensive to install than exhaust or supply systems.
  • ϳԹ recovery ventilation (ERV)systems include fans and a heat exchanger. In winter, heat from the warm inside air is recovered to warm the cold supply air. In summer, the inside air cools the warmer supply air to reduce cooling costs. ERV systems are most effective in areas with extreme winter or summer climates.

Give your fans ENERGY STAR quality

Noise is a major reason why many homeowners avoid using ventilation fans. When purchasing a fan, select an ENERGY STAR®-qualified model.fans are certified for energy-efficient performance and must meet strict noise requirements.

Wasted energy detective: the bedroom /blog/wasted-energy-detective-the-bedroom Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:14:49 +0000 /?p=18029 Undercover bedroom investigation

Are high energy bills keeping you awake at night? ϳԹ-stealing monsters could be lurking there, right under your nose. Don’t let them get away with it!

  • Lamps– Place lamps in corners to allow light to bounce off two walls, so you’ll need fewer fixtures. Save energy by using natural lighting during the day.
  • Fan– Fans don’t cool a room; they cool the people in the room. Leaving the fan running in an unoccupied room just wastes energy if no one is around to enjoy the breeze.
  • Vents– Blocking air vents can make your HVAC system work harder to provide the same level of comfort. Leave some space around them to maximize system performance and minimize energy bills.
  • Closet– The larger your bedroom is, the harder your HVAC system has to work to keep the space comfortable. Close closet doors so you don’t waste energy cooling an area that doesn’t need it.
  • Television– Falling asleep with the TV on can drive up your energy bill. Change the settings so it will turn off after a set period of time, or use a smart power strip to shut off your TV automatically.

How to upgrade your home for climate resiliency /blog/how-to-upgrade-your-home-for-climate-resiliency Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:13:57 +0000 /?p=18027 As storms intensify and weather patterns become more extreme, climate change is no longer a future concern — it’s showing up on doorsteps today. In 2023, natural disasters forced 2.5 million Americans from their homes and inflicted $92.9 billion in property damage. From devastating hurricanes to unprecedented wildfires, these events reshape how we think about home safety and resilience. By making these upgrades, you can protect your home while being part of the climate solution.

Enhance your home’s envelope

Your home’s envelope — its exterior walls, roof, windows and doors — is your first line of defense against extreme weather. These following improvements can protect your home from environmental challenges and reduce energy costs:

  • Install storm doors and windows, which can save you up to 30% on heating and cooling costs.
  • Strengthen your roof with hurricane straps to reinforce the connection between the roof truss and the wall plate.
  • Upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant roofing materials designed to withstand hail, wind and sleet.
  • Seal any gaps or cracks in walls and around windows to prevent air leakage.
  • Improve insulation in your attic, walls and floors to maintain indoor temperatures.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that homeowners can save an average of 11% on total energy costs by air sealing their homes and adding insulation.

Improve flood protection

Anywhere it can rain, it can flood. Check FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center to learn about your home’s flood risk level before making upgrades. Protective measures include:

  • Installing check valves to prevent sewage backup.
  • Elevating critical systems like electrical panels and HVAC units.
  • Equipping your home with a sump pump that has a battery backup.
  • Redirecting water away from your foundation using French drains and strategic landscaping.
  • Adding a rain barrel to manage runoff.

Strengthen wildfire defenses

If wildfires are a concern, fireproofing your home should be a priority.

  • Use non-combustible roofing materials such as metal, concrete and clay tiles.
  • Surround your home with fire-resistant landscaping. Opt for plant species with high moisture content, like dogwood, sycamore and magnolia.
  • Remove flammable vegetation near your home to create a defensible space.
  • Install a spark arrestor for chimneys and stovepipes.

 

Prepare for power outages

Extreme weather often brings power outages, so it’s important to have backup systems in place. Consider investing in a backup generator or a solar battery system to power essential appliances like refrigerators, medical devices and lighting. LED lights and energy-efficient appliances can help conserve power, ensuring your resources last longer.

Adopt smart home technology

Put smart technology to work protecting your home. Some options include:

  • Weather-monitoring systems for real-time alerts.
  • Smart water sensors can detect leaks or flooding early.
  • Smart air purifiers to detect pollution and restore clean air to your space.
  • Advanced home security systems provide added peace of mind during severe weather or evacuations.

Your climate resiliency roadmap

Climate resilience isn’t a universal blueprint. Your home’s specific upgrades will depend on your geographic location and local climate risks.

Start by assessing your specific risks based on your location. Then, prioritize upgrades that address your most significant vulnerabilities. Remember, the goal isn’t just protecting your property — it’s ensuring your family has a safe, comfortable home regardless of what nature throws your way.

Super Bowl LIX’s stunning $1.25B impact for Louisiana /news/super-bowl-lixs-stunning-1-25b-impact-for-louisiana Tue, 03 Jun 2025 20:24:47 +0000 /?p=17982 Game’s impact supported 10,000 jobs and a huge economic development win for the state

BATON ROUGE, La. – Super Bowl LIX brought more than football to New Orleans — it helped deliver one of the largest economic impacts in NFL history, serving as the centerfold of a historic era for Louisiana Economic Development, which has secured nearly $62 billion in new capital investment since the start of Governor Jeff Landry’s administration.

from Louisiana State University’s E.J. Ourso College of Business found the event generated$1.25 billionin total economic activity statewide,more than doublingthe impact of the 2013 New Orleans Super Bowl and ranking as the second most financially impactful Super Bowl of all-time, even when compared to much larger host cities.

“Super Bowl LIX was a tremendous success for New Orleans and all of Louisiana,”Governor Jeff Landrysaid. “Hosting the Super Bowl is so much more than a football game. It’s an opportunity to drive an economic impact that is both immediate and long-term. We seized the opportunity to showcase Louisiana, and we scored huge! ”

The study, authored by LSU Professor Dek Terrell and Economist Nikolas J. Henderson, highlights how the event reached beyond the big game to help grow local businesses, support thousands of jobs, and position Louisiana for even greater future growth.

Economic impact at a glance

  • $1.25 billiontotal statewide economic impact
  • 9,787 local jobssupported statewide
  • $658 millionin total spending by visitors and vendors
  • $395 millionin wages generated for Louisiana workers
  • $82.7 millionin state and local tax revenue
  • 115,000 total attendees, including 100,000 from out of state, representing 45 U.S. states

The 2025 event also marked the 11th time New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl, matching Miami’s hosting record.

“New Orleans is one of America’s great sports cities—a shining example of culture, resiliency, and community empowerment,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

“By hosting its record-tying eleventh Super Bowl shortly after a national tragedy, the Big Easy showed us the power of coming together to achieve a common goal,” Goodell continued, “This impact report is the latest reminder that the Super Bowl is more than a game; it’s an economic engine that supports local businesses and residents, strengthening the host city and state. We are grateful to the New Orleans Saints and the civic and political leaders across Louisiana who welcomed our fans, partners, and media and made this achievement possible.”

A message from New Orleans Saints Owner, Gayle Benson

“This Super Bowl was more than just a game. It was reflective of everything that makes our community so special. As we celebrate the incredible financial impact hosting a Super Bowl has on our economy, I look forward to quickly bringing everyone back together so that we can secure another Super Bowl in the immediate future,” said Benson.

We have already started discussions with the NFL, and I have personally reached out to Commissioner Goodell, expressing our interest in hosting the game again very soon.Hosting our record-tying 11th Super Bowl was a proud moment for New Orleans and for the entire state of Louisiana. We showed the world our passion, our resilience, and the unmatched spirit of our people. I couldn’t be more proud of how our city came together with heart, hospitality, and purpose to deliver an unforgettable experience for the fans and for our home.”

Long-term exposure and business engagement

“The LSU study shows that the Super Bowl was an unrivaled opportunity in positioning Louisiana to win. The story we shared with the world was one of Louisiana’s aggressive push on innovation and economic development,”LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois said.“Governor Landry hosted thousands of visitors at the Louisiana Now Pavilion, where he showed unequivocally that Louisiana is open for business. His efforts and the efforts of everyone involved will pay dividends for years to come.”

For the first time in Super Bowl history, the Louisiana leadership seized on international exposure to promote the state as a top business destination. The effort centered around the 14,000 square-foot Louisiana NOW Pavilion, an immersive space that hosted more than 4,000 local, national, and international business leaders, entrepreneurs, journalists, and stakeholders throughout the entire Super Bowl week.

The multifaceted event venue, born of public and private partnership, was the headquarters for many successful state-sponsored events, including the launch of Louisiana Innovation, or. This new brand and division of LED is dedicated to making Louisiana a leader in the development of high-growth, technology-enabled startup companies.

The Louisiana NOW Pavilion also gave rise to a strong media footprint. Hundreds of journalists visited the site, resulting in news coverage that reached more than 210 million people worldwide and garnering over $6 million in publicity value.

Infrastructure upgrades bring Super Bowl’s impact home

Leading up to the game, state and local officials conducted a coordinated infrastructure revitalization and economic development campaign that was key to the Super Bowl’s success. Infrastructure improvements, led by State Leaders, Greater New Orleans, Inc., the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the City of New Orleans and other partners, included road, drainage, lighting, and beautification projects totaling $70 million across more than 500 initiatives.

“Super Bowl LIX was more than a single event; it was the culmination of hard work, strategic investments, planning, and a united partnership,”GNO, Inc. President and CEO Michael Hecht said. “What we accomplished with state and local partnership was truly remarkable and demonstrates what we can do when we have strong, united leadership. GNO, Inc. was proud to spearhead key infrastructure improvements, enhancements in public safety ,and beautification of the city. The world came to New Orleans and saw more than a great venue — they saw a Louisiana that delivers: in innovation, in energy, in international trade, in manufacturing, and yes, in hosting unforgettable global events.”

The week also shattered tourism records, with 75% of visitors staying more than three nights and widespread increases in spending across the hospitality and retail sectors. Cultural attractions saw surges in attendance, and staffing demand in event services reached new levels.

Broadcast reach and global exposure for Louisiana visibility

Nielsen reported awhopping number of nearly 128 million peoplewatched Super Bowl LIX across TV and streaming platforms — the highest number of viewers in over a decade and an impressive four million viewers more than the next-highest viewed game

With Louisiana’s iconic music, food, and culture woven into the full broadcast experience, from pre-game to post-game coverage, viewers not only saw a world-class event, but a state continuing to prove its experience and capability of unique hospitality and offering endless opportunities well beyond the festivities.

A shared success

The success of Super Bowl LIX was the result of an unprecedented level of coordination among state and local agencies, economic development organizations, civic leaders, and private partners. From infrastructure upgrades to international business outreach, the event set a new standard for future host states.

“These results confirm what we already knew: when Louisiana’s communities unite to achieve a goal, we deliver at the highest level,”New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee Chairman and ϳԹ Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Marcus Brown, said.“Super Bowl LIX was more than a game; it was an economic catalyst and a powerful statement to the world that Louisiana is a premier destination for cultural enjoyment and business investment.”

“The hard work, planning and determination of the Host Committee and our partners paid dividends for the entire State of Louisiana. This massive effort exceeded expectations, and we redefined what it means for a major event to uplift an entire state. From small businesses to global brands, every part of Louisiana shared in this success. The incredible impact numbers from Super Bowl LIX confirm it was one of the most successful Super Bowls in recent history and further support the Host Committee’s theme: it’s what we do,”Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans Super Bowl LIX Host Committee President & CEO Jay Cicerosaid. “This success would not have been possible without Mrs. Benson and the Saints; Governor Landry, Lieutenant Governor Nungesser and Louisiana Economic Development; Mayor Cantrell, the City Council and the City of New Orleans; our Chairman Marcus Brown and the entire Host Committee; the staff and Board of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation; New Orleans & Company, New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund and the entire hospitality community; and over 4,000 volunteers, along with the support of the business community and Louisiana Legislature.”
