Welcome to season three of AMA’s EV Life podcast! In our first episode of the season, we chat with Simon Pillarella, head of marketing and business development at ChargeHub. Simon joins host, Krystal Maharaj, to chat about EV roaming and a nation-wide initiative between multiple organizations, government, and businesses known as Agora. Agora was created to build awareness and educational resources for Canadians on connecting to multiple charging networks using a single account. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you’d like to share your thoughts on EV roaming or anything else related to zero-emission vehicles, join the EV Life group on the AMA Mobile App.

The EV Life podcast is back for another season! In season 3 we’ll be speaking to more experts and everyday Albertans as we continue to explore the world of electric vehicles. You can expect to hear interviews on lots of research and development and emerging technologies in the zero-emission vehicle industry. New episodes will be coming out every Tuesday, so don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the interviews to come:

Episode 1: EV Roaming with ChargeHub: What exactly is EV roaming? Join us as we chat with Simon Pillarella from ChargeHub to talk about how they’ve joined forces with organizations, businesses, and the government to help make using public charging networks a seamless process for Canadians.

Episode 2: Off-Grid Charging with Create Solar: Today, most electric vehicle owners charge up using the electric power grid, but Create Solar is working on giving Canadians options. We’re joined by a solar engineer, Franzi Tschurtschenthaler, to discuss the options available for off-grid EV charging.

Episode 3: Recharged: EV Battery Recycling with Lithion Technologies: Lithium-ion battery recycling is a hot topic. Last season we spoke to Maria Kelleher of Kelleher Environmental to talk about EV battery recycling. This season, we continue the conversation with Lithion Technologies to learn even more about the process of recycling lithium batteries in Canada.
