In this episode of Q in Charge, host Joe the Q explores the record-breaking expansion of America’s EV charging network in 2025. With public fast-charging stations up 19% in just nine months, the landscape is shifting fast — and so are the players. Tesla’s long-held dominance is being challenged by new entrants like Ionna, Mercedes-Benz HPC, BP Pulse, and Walmart, each building the next generation of high-speed, amenity-rich charging hubs.

Joe breaks down what this “Charging 2.0” era means for drivers, investors, and the industry at large — from faster charging speeds and smarter infrastructure to ongoing challenges like data transparency, regional disparities, and policy changes under the Trump administration. It’s a deep look at the growth, disruption, and transformation shaping the electric future of mobility.
