Discussion

Bluesky: @volts.wtf David Roberts · 17h ago · 151 ♥ Today on Volts: public EV charging isn't as fraught an experience as it was just a few years ago, but it's still not great. A new company - a collab among 8 major automakers - seeks to change that, with reliable, fast chargers accompanied by amenities. I talk with the CEO. · @volts.wtf David Roberts · 17h ago · 34 ♥ Very interesting discussion by @volts.wtf with the CEO of IONNA, which is sort of like the Tesla charger network supported by a consortium of 8 automakers. David is always great at asking the real questions, like, “are your backers actually committed to EV?”
