OUR DC FAST CHARGER INSTALL UPDATE - NEW UNITS, BIGGER PLANS, AND WHAT'S TO COME

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast provides a comprehensive update on the installation of DC fast chargers at the Out of Spec headquarters. Host Kyle details the project's evolution from a simple single charger installation to a more ambitious plan involving multiple units and advanced features like battery buffering. The primary challenge has been project management and coordinating with various manufacturers and installers. While an initial quote from a local electrician was around $35-40,000, the project scope has expanded significantly, with quotes from professional installers like Wind Maran ranging in the mid-$40,000s, and the overall project cost potentially reaching $50-100,000. Key takeaways include the importance of partnerships, the novelty of charger reviews as a content area, and the ongoing effort to secure the best deals through transparent media coverage. The project is progressing slowly due to Kyle's busy schedule and the expanding scope, but updates are promised as the installation of units from Autel and XCH Charge moves forward.
