From Out of Spec Podcast.

In this week’s DCFC Weekly Update, Walter goes over the latest in fast charging, starting with a viewer-submitted Supercharger report from Pagosa Springs, Colorado (thank you, JD!). He then breaks down Paren’s Q1 EV fast charging report and what it reveals about network reliability and growth.
Walter also covers updates from BP Pulse and Mercedes-Benz, followed by news involving ChargePoint, Optimus, and Duke Energy. The episode continues with Walmart’s expanding energy ambitions, a fresh update to PlugShare, and a roundup of new charging sites opening in celebration of Earth Day.
