Episode description

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?
