  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REALLY Quick Charge: The Mobility House, V2G, and building up the grid
Q: What's the practical takeaway for fleets just starting with electrification?
Start with solid, trustworthy equipment and vendors, electrify basic operations first, then move to optimizing energy bills with bidirectional charging and participation in utility programs as you scale a fleet like school buses and municipal fleets.
REALLY Quick Charge: The Mobility House, V2G, and building up the grid
Q: What's the role of open standards in your integrations with Kia and Wallbox?
Open standards allow testing and integration across brands; The Mobility House integrates with Kia and Wallbox through Cascade Integrator, ensuring the car, charger, and aggregation platform communicate smoothly and reliably.
REALLY Quick Charge: The Mobility House, V2G, and building up the grid
Q: How does the system handle complexity in rate structures and ensure reliable operation?
The system uses AI to optimize charging decisions at the edge, with Edge pilot hardware and software executing a pre-scripted charge plan in real time, independent of cloud latency, while the utility signal and report back ensure alignment with programs.
REALLY Quick Charge: The Mobility House, V2G, and building up the grid
Q: What is Cascade EV aggregator and what problem does it solve?
Cascade EV aggregator connects vehicles to utility programs, receiving a signal from the utility and creating a charge plan so the vehicle charges according to the plan; if the vehicle follows it, the fleet earns incentives or revenue from the utility program, while the utility verifies compliance.
REALLY Quick Charge with Range Energy electric trailer at ACT Expo 2026
Q: What is the one takeaway Collin wishes people knew about Range Energy's product right now?
That it is a technology loved by drivers for improving their daily driving experience, lowering vibrations, and delivering real, demonstrable fuel savings, which if scaled, could significantly reduce total operating costs for fleets.
