On Our Podcast Show this week, there’s trouble at the EV charging stations in the USA (if you don’t drive a Tesla and happen to be Canadian). Find out about EV charging in the US and how Electrify America fails Canadians (until we found a sketchy workaround). Hear how the EVgo charging network sets the standard for EV charging ease of use with their very Tesla-like Autocharge+ program.
