BYD 1.5MW Flash Charging & Big ChargePoint Expansion! This Week’s DCFC Update

From Out of Spec Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s DCFC update! In this episode, we cover several big developments across the EV charging world. Walmart Energy is quietly testing time-of-use pricing, EVgo appears to be reaching a profitability turning point, and Mercedes-Benz’ High-Powered Charging data finally gets clarified so we can track the network’s growth.

Filmed at a small ChargePoint site off I-77 in north Charlotte, I also walk through several new charging station openings across North America — including sites from Rivian Adventure Network, Electrify America, Tesla, and others — plus what they mean for the expanding fast-charging landscape.

We also dive into EVgo’s latest investor updates, new charging hardware from Alpitronic, and a bold announcement from BYD about ultra-high-power charging. If you want to stay up to date on the latest EV charging deployments, technology, and industry moves, this week’s rundown has the key highlights.
