EVs and EV chargers are no longer the tiniest piece of the pie when it comes to automotive infrastructure - if anything, now they're one of the biggest! But in a world of various EV manufacturers, and as a result various EV charging outputs, how does the interoperability of these standards work? Our wonderful co-host/EV enthusiast James Carter flew solo in this episode to discuss the ins and outs of interoperability with guest Erika H. Myers, Executive Director at CharIN North America. Together, they spoke about the current status of EV charging ineroperability, its potential for the future, and the obstacles it needs to overcome to get there. They dive deeper than you can imagine, so plus in your headphones and get ready for the great discussion.

CharIN Global is a non-profit organization that dedicated to empowering and promoting the use of CSS (Combined Charging System) interoperability as a global standard for electric vehicles, and MCS (Megawatt Charging System) for commercial and heavy-duty vehicles.
