EV Charging Stations 101 with Robert Rizzo of 365 Pronto, Inc.

Welcome back to EV Chat. This season, we’re going back to school, bringing you deep dives into the key components and terms in electric vehicle infrastructure. 

This week, our lesson is EV Charging 101, where we explore how you—current and future EV drivers—get all those anodes and cathodes to power your car. If you’ve ever wondered how the heck a charger works, we’ve got just the episode for you.
