Life with an EV.
A closer look at charging.

About Zak

The camera usually notices first.

Current Heading is where Zak Winnick documents EV ownership and charging infrastructure through video and photography.

The subjects range from everyday life with an electric truck to the design of charging sites and networks. What works, what gets overlooked, and what you notice when you spend time there.
