4.4 out of 5 stars from 155 ratings
  • Joe Boris spreads hate and violence

    Joe Boris is driven by politics and not by facts. Is immature and is an embarrassment to the EV community. Joe Boris lies in nearly every episode and spreads misinformation. Don’t waste your time with this evil.

  • False advertising

    The show descriptions say it comes out every Monday through Friday. Fact is, it comes out whenever the host feels like it, which is not often. When he does produce an episode, they’re usually pretty good, with the exception of a bit too much Tesla bashing. Not that I’m a big Musk fan, but at some point one needs to say: “we get it. Move on.” There are other companies in the world including a hopping Chinese EV market. Time to diversify the story line. Oh, and either come out daily, or change yo... more

  • And…. They’re Dead Again

    Once again, the regular update format is gone. Joe seemingly has killed the podcast, unless it’s some company he wants to plug, and then the show is anything but quick. Quickcharge was great when it was regular and quick. Now it’s neither. Long live Quickcharge!

  • They’re Back!

    UPDATE: As of May 14, Joe returned to the short news format. Thank goodness! This is why I listen to Quickcharge. -1 star for still a bit too much commentary, but I can live with that as long as I have my EV news back. Thank you, Joe!

    PRIOR REVIEW: The show is incorrectly named. It’s no longer quick news updates on EVs and now it’s too many long-form interviews. While there’s still some news, the show has lost its way. If the host wants to do long-form interviews, great, just don’t put them i... more
