Quick Charge

Elon can’t get it up (past 325 kW), BP can, and GM hopes to keep it up in 2025

Despite mocking 350 kW as "a child's toy" in 2016, the company is just rolling out 325 kW V4 chargers in 2025. Meanwhile companies like BP are celebrating 400 kW installations along major highways – and they're making money doing it. All this and more on today's thrilling January 47th episode of Quick Charge!

We've also got a blast from the past in the form of one of my first Electrek article from way back in 2022, GM's performance making TSLA look like a meme stock, and a massive lithium project in the Heartland.
