This week's guest is Walter Schulze from the Network Architect Channel. He has been following the build-out of the EVGo Flying J and Pilot travel centers, so we wanted to catch up with him to see what prompted him to follow that so closely. Along the way, we discovered how he got into EVs including a Tesla, a Volvo, and a Cadillac Lyriq.
