Podcasts about Charging

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1054: We're kicking off Tuesday week with a look at surging used car sales and shrinking supply, BYD's aggressive EV price cuts in China, and a Waffle House partnership that brings hash browns and high-speed charging together in the South.Show Notes with links:Automotive News released its top Used Car retailers list showing that the stabilizing of the 2024 market led to some big gains. However, the current complexities and quickly shrinking market day supply is testing even the best players.Used-only dealers like CarMax, Carvana, and DriveTime saw strong 2024 growth as supply chains normalized, with Carvana up 33% year-over-year.Dealers are creatively sourcing inventory—prioritizing trade-ins and direct-from-customer purchases to avoid costly auctions.The current used vehicle supply stands at just a 43-day market supply, the lowest since 2021, with lower-price vehicles hardest to find.Tariff fears have driven consumers to buy quickly, pushing prices for the top 50 used models to an average of nearly $29,000“There isn't a lot of room for error anymore in the post-COVID used-car world,” said Bill Solko, dealer principal of Automotive Avenues.Meanwhile Cox Automotive's Jonathan Smoke warned, 2025 is going to be a roller coaster for this industry,” BYD just launched a fresh round of EV price cuts in China, triggering a market shake-up that's pummeling stocks and ramping pressure on rivals like Tesla.BYD slashed prices across several models, including a 20% cut on the sub-$10,000 Seagull hatchback now priced at an equivalent of $7,780The Chinese EV market is nearing 50% penetration — five times the U.S. rate — largely due to aggressive pricing strategies.EV maker stocks, including BYD, Li Auto, and Geely, fell sharply after the announcement, signaling investor anxiety.BYD's growing profit cushion from 2019–2024 gives it room to undercut less profitable competitors.“This new price war will put even more pressure on Tesla,” Electrek reported, especially as new players like Xiaomi ramp up.In a match made in Southern heaven, bp pulse and Waffle House are joining forces to bring 400kW ultrafast EV charging to your next roadside breakfast stop.Starting in 2026, Waffle House locations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and beyond will host six-bay charging stations.The chargers will support both CCS and NACS connectors and deliver up to 200 miles of range in about 15 minutes.The 24/7 diner vibe adds much-needed comfort and reliability to the EV charging experience.This builds on bp pulse's growing U.S. network, which includes partnerships with Hertz and 8,000+ retail locations.“Charging up while fueling up on an All-Star Special will be convenient and fast,” said Waffle House Innovation Director David Repp.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Whoever came up with the idea to “charge your worth” didn't know what the hell they were talking about. I'm it's well intentioned and it's a saying to encourage others to charge more for their services, but “worth” is something ill-defined and highly subjective. Wouldn't it be better to charge what you need? Because damn […]

The Blue-Collar Twins sit down with Scott Nelson, founder of Central-Jersey's iconic Oceanside Service—the turquoise-truck HVAC firm he bootstrapped for 36 years before handing the keys to private equity earlier this spring. Scott unpacks the branding bets, “golden-handcuff” culture, and 20 %-margin playbook that turned a $600 van into a top-1 % contractor (and a life-changing buyout).Buzz EP 203 Scot N Mix … You'll hear: Branding on Wheels – why he painted every truck Caribbean blue (and wrapped the last two).25-Minute Rule – slashing windshield time to keep service profit-positive.Earn While You Learn – duct-cleaning crews as a talent farm for techs and installers.Golden Handcuffs – split-dollar life insurance that locked managers in for 15 years.Pricing for 20 % Net – escaping the HVAC industry's 1.5 % average.PE Negotiations – walking from the table until the acquirer funded his staff's benefits.Life After the Sale – why he turned down a six-figure consulting gig to just be “Grandpa Scott.” Stick around for Dylan's quick CTA to Paul Giannamore's Private-Equity Masterclass playlist—then audit your own “billable hour” before the next heat wave hits.

Sales gets a dirty scammy rep but the truth is, if you can't sell people you can't help people. Charging people is not immoral, it's required for their success. If you have a good product or service, you have an obligation to be good at sales. I've closed over 2.3 million in sales and only had $7,000 in refunds which is .3% of total sales. Unheard of in my industry. “If your product or service is good enough it sells itself” is such a lazy approach to business. When it comes to most clietentel, they have limiting beliefs around spending money on themselves, mom's and women especially. A tip I have for sales that a lot of people miss: bridging the gap. In this episode, I'm going to explain how a lot of people fuck up sales by talking about themselves too much and not enough about solving their potential prospects problems. We'll also talk about what to look out for during the call and how to personalize your program for what they want in real time.   Time Stamps:   (0:13) If You Can't Sell, You Can't Help (2:16) 50 Dollars A Month For Online Coaching Back In The Day (5:00) Why You Should Listen To Me (8:02) I Was Not Good When I Started (10:51) Bridging The Gap (14:30) Initial Questions (17:00) What Do They Want To Achieve?

SEASON 5 EPISODE 3 - We have the honor of having on the BrowGuru on today's special episode

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and the whole LUNASHARK team — are celebrating 100 episodes of True Sunlight Podcast, the show that emerged from their relentless pursuit of justice in the highly acclaimed Murdaugh Murders Podcast (which, of course, is the basis for the star-studded Hulu scripted series currently filming in Atlanta).  What better way to celebrate two years of post-Murdaugh reporting than with an old throwback … breaking Murdaugh news on a Wednesday! Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill was arrested and charged with four felony counts — two misconduct in office charges, an obstruction of justice charge and perjury.  Though three of the charges are related to Alex Murdaugh's murder trial they are NOT related to Dick and Jim's claims of jury-tampering. Two of the charges are specifically related to photos of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's dead bodies, which were allegedly leaked to a "news" agency during the trial and later distributed to random people following the Murdaugh case. Hmmm... But will these charges affect Alex's chances at getting a new trial?  Also on the show, an update in the (18:49) Jane Doe lawsuits against Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller.  Plus, our continuing coverage of (34:17) the Weldon Boyd Calls. From the second North Myrtle Beach businessman opened his truck door after shooting 33-year-old Scott Spivey of Tabor City, North Carolina, to death in September 2023, Boyd began his search for the perfect narrative — one that would explain his presence on Camp Swamp Road and fit the definition of the Stand Your Ground law; that would explain why Scott was shot to death in the back and in his truck; one that integrated the emerging bits of information Weldon appeared to be getting from the shadows of the so-called investigation by Horry County Police Department.  Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

After the 1986 Tax Reform Act, Ed Slott made a strategic decision to specialize in IRAs—a move that not only set him apart in a niche field, but also helped him build a nationally recognized reputation as a leading expert. By leaning into his niche, he intentionally set himself apart from generalists by charging more to reflect the unique value he delivers. Today, Ed is the President of Ed Slott and Company, a financial education firm based in Rockville Centre, New York, offering seminars and newsletters for both financial advisors and consumers, with a particular focus on IRAs. In this episode, he shares how having specialized knowledge of the ins and outs of IRAs helped him stand out among other tax experts, the marketing strategies that grew his visibility (leading to a nationwide speaking business and the launch of his Elite IRA Advisor Group), and much more.

  Hey there, welcome back to Designed for the Creative Mind! Today we're diving into a topic that hits way too close to home for so many designers — the dreaded “time trap”. Yep, I'm talking about hourly billing and the never-ending stress of tracking every bathroom break like you're auditioning for TaskRabbit. If you've ever stayed up late trying to remember how long that third round of tile edits took… this episode is for you. What we're talking about in this episode: Why charging by the hour feels “responsible” but wrecks your profits (and sanity) How hourly pricing turns you into a technician instead of a trusted expert Why your efficiency should be rewarded, not penalized How to handle clients who want a minute-by-minute breakdown A real-life example of switching to a flat fee (and how it changed everything) How value-based pricing builds trust, boundaries, and breathing room for creativity I'm walking you through my own journey of breaking free from hourly billing — the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and how I now coach other designers (like my client “Jess”) to make this shift with confidence. Here's the big takeaway: Clients are paying for your genius, not your time. It's time to stop selling hours and start selling transformation. If you're ready to ditch the time trap and step into your role as a creative professional (with pricing that reflects it), let's chat. Book a call with me or my team and let's get you out of hourly hell. Remember — you're not alone. And you don't have to stay stuck. Until next time, keep rising — one decision at a time.

How much do you charge? How much are you? My first question is, How did you interpret that question?  Because you could think I'm going to dive into how to set your fees… and I am. You might have had this question come up with a client and wonder, how do I answer that question. I'm going to answer that too.  You also could be asked this about something you've never even considered, like …  How much would you charge for a presentation ? What are your speaking fees?  How much would you charge to create a series of videos for our membership? Or organization or to provide the movement breaks at our corporate event?  If you haven't thought about your response to any of these questions, or you really wonder how to set your fee structure when you're starting or want to raise your rates, then this is for you.    I'm going to cover each of these in a little series because the two most popular workshops I've hosted in my career:  Offer Creation lab  Coaching Hotties: The HOW-TO for menopause fitness coaches & trainers  And within minutes, when I conduct a Business Better audit with our new Menopause Fitness Specialists, a couple things become clear. Many of us do not know where our biggest profit comes from.  We are not creating products and setting fees in a way that puts us in a profitable position. So let's change that. You no longer need to believe that because you're in a service-oriented business, or that you love it, that you can't also make a profit and have a life you love.  That stops now, don't you think? Stay tuned for the How Much Do You Charge series.   Include Quality in How Much Do You Charge for a Potential Customer “I know I need you but can I afford you?” To answer that, that is similar to answering a meeting planner (from the previous episode).  Have a Range Instead of “My rate is $95 an hour.” or “$95 per session for 15 sessions,” You could answer: “How serious are you?” “Did you have a budget in mind?” “How much is it worth to you?” Elaborate and Mention Inclusions Make yours a comprehensive approach. That's really coaching. That's all encompassing and a different kind of a service. “I will give you guidance on what to do, on your own as well.” or “Health coaching to monitor your diet, your stress, your sleep." “The best place to get started would be a discovery call. That's a $50 session and if you decide to step forward and we are a good fit, we apply that credit to your next step.” Give Opportunities Give them opportunities at a low level of $50. Versus, “You want to spend 90 minutes with me.” Instead of saying, “It's $3,000. There's a range that influences the fee, those include....” You could answer, “There are several things that influence how much a package or an in-depth one-time session.” The client has an opportunity to say, “I think I've got this on my own. You've given me what I need to do. I'm gonna try this on my own.” You can respond, “This is great but I want to give accountability. We can look at what that looks like.” “That's a $500 investment. You're gonna do homework and I do too. You jump 90 minutes with me. Then I do a little more homework and send you the recommendation based on where I would start with right now, based on what you've said, and based on the criteria for increasing routine.” What Do You Offer With How Much Do You Charge? Here's the exciting part and I'm so glad you stayed with me.  I have experienced that for many business pros doing something for the very first time, they've never even thought, I didn't even know I could do that – that could be my job. The reality is.. you can't teach fitness classes all day, every day. Many of us were teaching 2-4 classes a day. Maybe to cover for somebody who was sick. There was not a lot of fusion in yoga. There were not a lot of barre kinds of classes. There was primarily high impact, maybe low impact, spinning classes, but they were all fairly high intensity. We didn't do what wise yoga instructors do now, which is actually walk around and supervise and be a better teacher, not just being there doing your own workout.  The reason many wanted to be fitness instructors is they would say, “I get paid for working out.” Which were most often leading to the poorest quality fitness instructors that we had. Right? It would not be about teaching, cueing and helping someone with form, instead of making sure they keep their own heart rate up or they're getting all the sets in the reps themselves. Some would say, “I'm exhausted.” “I'm doing all the workout because if I don't, they won't do that.” That's ridiculous, right? Something about her instruction is not working. You don't have to work out, even on camera. But what you do is demonstrate and watch that client.  If you're a digital professional who knows how to create high quality, video, and audio. Demonstrate the technique and sequencing exercise in the way that it should be. Get all the cues in the technique. That is a combination of skill sets that the pandemic gave to you as a gift.    Other Episodes of How Much Do You Charge Series: Part 1 -  What Do You Consider in How Much Do You Charge (series) Part 3 - Collaboration Opportunities Impacting How Much Do You Charge   Resources:  Join The Menopause Fitness Fix to know what you need before you workout again!

Charging her car cost just $22, but the station was in front of a Target so she ended up spending more inside the store than she did on charging.

As electric vehicle adoption surges—projected to make up over half of all new car sales in the U.S. by 2030—the expectations around where and how we charge are rapidly evolving. Charging stations are no longer just utility hubs; they are becoming lifestyle touchpoints. Today's EV drivers seek more than speed and convenience—they want frictionless technology, elevated amenities, and design that speaks to their personal values. A new report from MG2 Advisory asks: What if EV charging stations embraced “unreasonable hospitality” and became places people actually look forward to visiting?How can EV charging stations evolve from functional infrastructure into brand experiences that surprise, delight, and earn loyalty?In this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez is joined by Charles Forster, founder of the automotive media brand Automo Speed Crew. Together, they explore what it would mean to embed the principles of hospitality into EV environments—from seamless app experiences to destination-worthy food and community spaces. Drawing from MG2 Advisory's latest consumer research, they break down user personas and reveal how brands can transform charging from a necessity into a memorable interaction.Highlights from the conversation include…Understanding the EV personas: From “Speed Seekers” who prioritize fast and seamless charging, to “Comfort Cruisers” and “Destination Dwellers” who value relaxation and immersive experiences, charging environments must cater to varied expectations.Amenities as differentiators: From elevated restrooms and premium seating to on-site services like tire inflation and detailing, going beyond the basics can drive loyalty.Tech-enabled hospitality: Frictionless mobile apps for reservations, payments, and real-time charger status are key to reducing range anxiety and elevating the user experience.Charles Forster is a seasoned product development leader with over 15 years of experience in UX design, front-end engineering, and digital branding across fintech, SaaS, and media sectors. As Director of Product Development at VersioPay, he oversees the design and development of integrated payment processing platforms and user interfaces.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1038: Today we're talking about the expected surge in auto dealership M&A activity, Hyundai's latest software update that simplifies EV charging across major networks, and Tanger's decision to launch its back-to-school campaign early in response to ongoing tariff concerns.Show Notes with links:Though Q1 saw a dip in dealership buy-sell activity, The Presidio Group sees the rest of 2025 heating up. With election season uncertainty in the rearview, dealers may be ready to get back to the negotiating table.Q1 had 82 transactions involving 106 dealerships, down from 90 deals and 175 stores last year.Election year uncertainty slowed activity, but momentum is now rebounding with Presidio saying the pipeline is “robust” and expecting strong summer/fall dealmaking.Presidio President George Karolis said that tariffs are adding complexity, especially around brand valuation and sourcing strategies. However, many dealers are already looking past tariffs, and there are more buyers than sellers in the current market.“Certainly, [tariffs have] come up. If anything, maybe we're buying a little bit of time just to see what happens over the next 90 days before we finalize some transactions,” said Sonic Automotive President Jeff Dyke.Hyundai EV drivers just got a serious charging upgrade. With tighter app integration and support for plug-and-charge at Tesla Superchargers, the Ioniq lineup is catching up to the Tesla standard in user experience.New software upgrades bring MyHyundai app support for Tesla, ChargePoint, EVGo, and Ionna.Plug-and-charge is now available on Ioniq 5, Ioniq 9, and future EVs—just plug in and go.App features include route planning, charger location, and direct in-app payments.Older Hyundai EVs can access Superchargers with an adapter; however the Kona EV is not yet supported.The upgrade aims to make EV charging “as easy as gassing up.”As tariffs loom large, outlet mall giant Tanger is speeding up its seasonal strategy. The company's early back-to-school campaign kicks off June 1, tapping into consumer concerns over rising prices and potential supply shortfalls.Tanger CEO Stephen Yalof says early shopping means better deals and availability.This year's campaign targets 10 million TangerClub members with urgent messaging and marks a pivot from last year's late-July start.Other retailers like Fashion Nova and Beis are also urging pre-tariff purchases.“If they can make decisions early and shop early, then they can take advantage of getting the products they want at the price they want,” said Yalof.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs' upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdf

"Women should start charging men $1,000 deposit fee to date them"

The Rise in EV AdoptionThe US electric vehicle (EV) market is expected to reach a revenue of $95.9 billion this year, with a projected annual growth rate of 12.61% over the course of the next four years. By 2035, California and twelve other states are planning to achieve 100% zero-emission new vehicle sales, calling upon local governments to assist in the EV transition to ensure equitable access to this new technology. For homeowners who have the ability to power up in their own garage, making the transition to EVs is relatively easy; however, for renters and those living in larger metropolitan areas, access to charging infrastructure remains a significant challenge. Although EV adoption is on the rise, urban areas are under constraint as they do not have sufficient charging infrastructure to keep up with heightening demand. High building density, limited capacity of the electricity grid, and insufficient funding and staffing are posing challenges for city governments across the country. Brooklyn-based startup, It's Electric, is working on one possible solution to this problem through the installation of curbside charging, powered from buildings on the adjacent property rather than directly from the utility grid. Building EV Charging AccessibilityCurbside charging works by minimizing the distance consumers need to travel to fuel their EV, thereby increasing accessibility of charging infrastructure. Many dense-urban areas have been referred to as “charging deserts,” due to their lack of accessible EV charging infrastructure, making the transition in these areas particularly challenging. Instead of the mainstream route in which charging infrastructure is developed through utility connections (which can be a 12 to 18 month process), startups like It's Electric partner with property owners, acquire the relevant permits, and install and maintain a charger powered by the building's electrical supply. Property owners can thus use untapped electricity supplies, allowing for installation without extensive infrastructure development or direct connections, providing property owners with passive revenue. Instead of working directly with electric utilities to install their chargers, It's Electric partners with municipalities and building owners directly. Further, the parking space will be maintained by the city, so the property owner doesn't need to worry about managing and maintaining the parking spot.Benefits of Curbside ChargingCurbside charging provides immense promise for city governments in transitioning towards more equitable access of EV charging infrastructure. For lower-income communities – particularly those without access to private driveways, garages, or who reside in multifamily housing – publicly accessible EV charging can help reduce barriers to participation in the ongoing shift to electric vehicles. As curbside charging is still in the beginning stages of development, policymakers can incorporate community members in decision-making. Thus, EV charging can be largely community-driven, incorporating opinions from local residents to make the transition fit the needs of the community. In dense urban areas, curbside charging can assist in reducing pollution and GHG emissions, particularly in high-emissions neighborhoods. Other strategies to keep in mind include providing discounts and cost reduction measures for lower income drivers as well as strategies like car share, mobility hubs, and colocation with other transportation services to improve accessibility. DrawbacksWithout addressing lower-income communities and those living in rental properties, EV charging can exacerbate current socioeconomic disparities and push marginalized communities out of the growing market. Thus, in tackling this transition, focus must be placed on targeted communities that lack the necessary resources to successfully adopt EVs. It's Electric has noted that there is more demand than they can meet right now, which represents the urgent call for this transition to occur. It's Electric is currently integrating Level 2 chargers into city infrastructure, rather than the faster direct current (DC) chargers that can power one's vehicle in 15-30 minutes. Because DC chargers take up significant amounts of space, require more infrastructure to develop, and utilize more electricity, it is not yet feasible to implement these in urban areas. Unfortunately, that leads to slower charging times and potentially limits an area's charging capacity. Another drawback of curbside charging in large cities can be attributed to limited sidewalk space and thus heightened demand for the few available units. Amidst these potential challenges, It's Electric has successfully resolved problems such as grid capacity and design by providing affordable, easy to install, and compact charging stations. By working collectively with policymakers, urban planners, transportation specialists, and community members, companies like It's Electric have begun to make curbside charging a reality.Who is Tiya Gordon?Tiya Gordon, co-founder of It's Electric, is transforming the way we approach EV charging by reimagining how publicly accessible chargers are integrated into public spaces. Tiya holds 20 years experience in design, leadership, and operations across a range of disciplines for some of the country's top firms and institutions. She is now venturing to spend the next 20 years building companies that use design to wage war against the Climate Crisis.For a transcript, please visit: https://climatebreak.org/curbside-charging-increases-ev-accessibility-with-tiya-gordon/
