Chevy recently made headlines by setting a new electric vehicle (EV) range record, achieving nearly 1,060 miles on a single charge in an optimized Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck. Surprisingly, this impressive feat was predicted by Chargeway founder Matt Teske, whose EV route-planning map forecasted the Silverado’s record-setting run with over 99% accuracy. Teske joins us on today’s electric episode of Quick Charge to discuss this groundbreaking achievement.
In addition to this remarkable milestone, we also explore the biggest challenge hindering widespread EV adoption and introduce a new solution from Blink Charging that has the potential to address this issue.
