It’s happening! EV charging infrastructure is growing

Cue the gif:

Happening

The money for electric vehicle infrastructure is starting to flow. Even more so since recording this episode. In fact, it pre-dates one of the largest commercial charging infrastructure announcements from Daimler Truck North America along with NextEra Energy Resources and BlackRock Renewable Power, which have a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to lay the foundation for a proposed joint venture to design, develop, install and operate a nationwide, high-performance charging network for medium- and heavy-duty battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the U.S.

And there’s still a ton of charging infrastructure advancements to talk about!

For all of the talk, what it means for electric commercial vehicles, and some fun with The Buzz Editor David Sickles and I creating new EV-focused memes, watch the video above.
