About this episode

Do you have an EV and suffer from range anxiety or perhaps you're toying with getting a battery powered car but worry about the lack of charging infrastructure which will leave you stranded with no power? Or you live in an apartment and can't charge your car overnight.

Maebh Reynolds, Co-Founder and CEO of GoPlugable which wants to be the Airbnb for car charging and joined Joe this morning.
