#88 EVgo Lead Data Scientist, Austin Zaccor, on What the VW Dieselgate Scandal & EVgo Share in Common (Part 1)

Austin Zaccor was formerly the lead Data Scientist at EVgo, one of the US’s largest public fast charging networks, with 850 charging locations and growing quickly! They’re on a mission to speed up mass adoption of electric vehicles by cranking up the convenience factor. More than 140M people in the U.S. live within a 10 mile drive of an EVgo fast charger, but only 2-4% of the 250M cars in the US are EVs. Why is that? Find out in today’s episode. Austin is an MIT Masters graduate in Business Analytics and a data wiz with an impressively powerful left brain. As of recent, Austin used data to predict the best locations for each future EVgo station. Show notes can be found at https://climatemayhem.com/austin.
