Episode 69: The Real Reason Why Public Charging is Broken

Raphael Atayi, Partnerships and Solutions Director at Semtech, dives into the importance of connectivity and uptime in the wild world of public EV charging infrastructure. With social feeds relentlessly filling up with angry Twitter / X comments about broken public charging stations, connectivity and uptime are more critical than ever. I mean, have you seen those brutal threads about EV charging stations? "10% battery is no way to start the day, thanks [insert name of famous EV charging company]!!" And that one is actually quite tame : ) Raphael's hot take? Ditch the piecemeal approach to EV public charging and go for a single, comprehensive solution that ensures connectivity and keeps those charging sessions successful (no matter what). Or as Raphael says, "it's mission critical." So, whether you're a charge point operator, a property owner or a dealer looking to install DCFC at your dealership, don't miss this episode so you can "up" your EV charging game._______________________________This episode is sponsored by Semtech Corporation.
