Rivian Hits 1,000 Charging Stalls & New North Carolina Premium EV Charging Hub | DCFC Weekly Update

On this week's DC Fast Charging Update, Walter visits the upcoming LKN Charge Spot near Lake Norman, North Carolina, and takes a full walk-through of the site. What appears to be an empty lot on Street View is actually a growing EV charging destination featuring ChargePoint hardware, Eaton equipment, future expansion plans, food truck hookups, retail development, and time-of-use pricing. Walter also covers the latest charging network news, including Electrify America's move away from account-balance billing, EVgo's continued NACS expansion, Rivian surpassing 1,000 charging stalls, new charging infrastructure on tribal land in Wisconsin, IONNA's latest advertising efforts, and additional fast charging sites coming online in Queens, New York. Thank you, Mike, for sending us photos of the new Rivian Adventure Network site in Irvine, CA! Welcome to Out of Spec BITS!
