Have You Got the Spark? How SparkCharge is Changing the EV Charging Landscape

December 15, 2023

EV charging takes center stage in this week’s podcast! My guest Adam Urban (Director of Engineering – SparkCharge) joins me to chat about how SparkCharge is changing the EV charging landscape. We dig into the details of their Roadie mobile DC fast charger, what their SparkCharge Out of Charge (OOC) Program is all about, and where Adam sees EV charging heading in the future. Also this week, I investigate how the feathers of a eastern bluebird could help usher in advancements in battery technology.

AI is My Copilot: How Flux is Revolutionizing PCB Design

by Amelia Dalton

December 8, 2023

My podcast guest this week is Mattias Wagner from Flux! Mattias and I investigate the role that AI plays in the Flux PCB design platform. We also delve into the details of the Flux Method, Flux Model and Flux Copilot, and discuss why working smarter not harder is cornerstone to the Flux mission. I also investigate why the discovery of phosphorus in the outer reaches of the galaxy could have major implications for the possibility of alien life.
