SUBARU TRAILSEEKER REVEALED, KIA EV4 MAKES ITS US DEBUT

EV Channels Review

This episode of Batteries Included podcast covers significant EV news, including the US debut of the Kia EV4 and the reveal of the Subaru Trailseeker. The majority of the discussion, however, centers on United Chargers and their new commercial software offering for their Grizzly charging line. The company's CEO highlights a new charging alliance and emphasizes the importance of interoperability and consumer choice in the EV charging market. A key takeaway is the introduction of Charge Lab software for Grizzly chargers, which will be offered at no cost to station owners, drastically reducing the barrier to entry for commercial-level 2 charging solutions. The hosts also touch upon the burgeoning Chinese EV market, the challenges faced by Western automakers, and the evolving perception of driving as a hobby versus a utility.
