  • EV Charging Is Booming—Why the Narrative Is Wrong and What’s Next

    EV Charging Is Booming—Why the Narrative Is Wrong and What’s Next
    Jul 31 2025
    SummaryIndustry experts Matt Teske (Chargeway), Loren McDonald (Paren), and John McElroy (Autoline Network) join host Chase to tackle the most pressing myths and realities in EV charging. They break down the surprising growth in U.S. charging infrastructure, challenge the mainstream narrative that EV adoption is stalling, and highlight why better communication—not just better technology—is critical for the next wave of EV buyers. From fast-charging expansion and policy headwinds to automaker struggles and the impact of leasing and used EVs, this episode is packed with insight for anyone navigating the future of clean transportation.⚡ Tune in now and don’t forget to Subscribe to our new newsletter!Plus check out our new consultancy site: Grid Connections ConsultingLinks from this EpisodeParen's US EV Fast Charging — Q2 2025 ReportTakeawaysFast Charging Is Scaling—But With Growing Pains While fast-charging installations are breaking records, some regions are facing underutilization due to overbuilt infrastructure or slow EV adoption, revealing the importance of aligning deployment with real-world demand.Charging Station Visibility Is a Major Barrier The lack of consistent signage and recognizable branding for EV chargers is creating consumer confusion. The panel argues that marketing electricity as a fuel—complete with price signage—can dramatically shift public perception.The Real EV Education Problem: Zero Public Messaging Despite billions in public investment, there’s virtually no nationwide campaign explaining how EV charging actually works. The absence of clear messaging continues to slow adoption among mainstream drivers.EV Sales Are Fragmenting Across More Models, Not Growing Per Model With over 80 BEV models on the market and many more on the way, the data shows EV sales are plateauing per vehicle. Most sales gains come from newly introduced models, not sustained growth across existing ones.Used EVs Are Creating Wildly Competitive Price Points Consumers can now find luxury EVs like the Mercedes EQS for under $35K, putting pressure on automakers to justify new model pricing—even for upcoming sub-$30K EVs.Automakers Are Losing Money—And Options Are Limited As leasing incentives phase out and tariffs ramp up, legacy automakers face difficult decisions: cut margins further, eat the costs, or risk sales decline. Profitability is increasingly tied to platform efficiency and software.Bidirectional Charging May Be the Game-Changer No One's Talking About As grid reliability declines, EVs with power backup capabilities—like the Cybertruck—offer new value propositions for homeowners. Yet, the industry has barely scratched the surface in promoting this benefit to consumers.Support or Connect with Grid ConnectionsLooking to either buy a Tesla or even test drive one, use our referral code.Travel for work and looking for a card that rewards your travel needs?

  • Revolutionizing Maritime: David Tyler Shares How Artemis Technologies Builds Fast, Electric, Hydrofoil Vessels

    Revolutionizing Maritime: David Tyler Shares How Artemis Technologies Builds Fast, Electric, Hydrofoil Vessels
    Jul 8 2025

    Summary
    We sit down with David Tyler, Co-Founder and Managing Director of North America at Artemis Technologies, to explore how electric hydrofoil vessels are revolutionizing maritime transit. Spun out of the America’s Cup, Artemis is applying cutting-edge racing tech to build fast, zero-emission ferries that drastically cut energy use, eliminate diesel fumes, and make commuting by water quieter, smoother, and more efficient. We dive into vessel design, charging infrastructure, and the role of ferries in sustainable urban mobility, with real-world examples from San Francisco, New York, and beyond.

    Takeaways

    1. Hydrofoils drastically reduce drag, enabling electric vessels to travel farther and faster on the same battery capacity — making high-speed electrification viable in maritime transit.
    2. Traditional ferries lose efficiency exponentially at higher speeds, while Artemis’ foiling boats maintain a flat energy curve, unlocking faster, more frequent service with lower operating costs.
    3. The maritime industry has been slow to adopt new tech, but Artemis is seeing a major shift as operators experience their vessels firsthand during North American demos.
    4. Electrification in maritime brings additional benefits beyond emissions, including reduced noise, smoother rides, less wake, and the ability to operate in more locations at more times of day.
    5. Artemis vessels use CCS2 and MCS fast charging standards, borrowing proven tech from the EV industry to support scalable charging for commercial boat fleets.
    6. Cities like San Francisco are turning to water transit to ease road congestion, and Artemis’ technology could unlock entirely new ferry routes and help reshape urban commuting.
