The discussion covers charging strategies, cost comparisons, and the real-world challenges and benefits of public EV charging.Guest Details: Bob Murphy is an EV & Infrastructure specialist with over a decade of experience operating fleets, facilitating charge points, running networks at a national level, and driving his own EV's all without the safety net of a home charger!
