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.
