Quick Charge

Sustainability, sustainability, and de-risking your fleet operations


Listen Later

On today's sustainably-produced episode of Quick Charge, we explore some of the different types of sustainability available to us in the world of electrification, celebrate some big wind and solar wins, and take a minute to enjoy some schadenfreude.

We've also got a quick take on the all-new Volvo EX60, a couple of new European additions to the V2H list, and we get around to talking about Tesla (if just a little)

Today's episode is sponsored by GM Energy. If you want to experience more resilience and control over your home energy, the GM Energy Home System adds stationary battery power for always-ready backup energy for your home, and the GM Energy PowerBank takes in energy from the grid and stores it for when you need it most.
