The CleanTechnica Article "EV Charging: We Have A Lot To Be Thankful For" gave me food for thought on this episode topic.  We sometimes like to complain about things not moving faster in the EV space, but if you look back where we were just a few short years ago, we have to acknowledge that things are pretty good!
