We’re back! This time we sat down with Quincy Lee, CEO and co-founder of Electric Era, an electric vehicle refueling company. Quincy has a super cool background - starting with designing skyscrapers, then moving on to space technology, and now he’s der-pilled.
We talk about all kinds of stuff in this one:
* what SpaceX and Starlink were like
* why EV charging, or whoops, we mean “car refill”
* EV charging reliability
* grid constraints limiting EV infrastructure
* the role of social media in shaping public opinion on energy
* the category isn’t ClimateTech or even EnergyTech - its GridTech
* and Deep GridTech is here!
* solid state power electronics, quantum-level stuff
* where the hell are all the transformers we need?
* Quincy: Gundo is “okay”, but come to Seattle
* innovation at the grid edge
* the grid edge strangler figging the grid?
