In this powerful episode of Q in Charge, Joe the Q breaks down one of the most urgent challenges in America’s transition to clean transportation: the lack of a genuinely nationwide public EV charging network. While EV adoption accelerates in major cities and coastal states, vast parts of the country remain “charging deserts,” with little to no access to fast, reliable charging.

Joe explains why building infrastructure everywhere—not just where EVs are popular today—is critical for national mobility, transportation equity, economic growth, rural connectivity, and long-distance travel. He dives into new research, infrastructure trends, policy shifts, and the economic case for early investment, making it clear that the future of EV travel depends on early leaders willing to build ahead of demand.

The episode also spotlights the upcoming Super Q Center in North Hollywood, a next-generation fast-charging hub built by Qcharge that features 16 high-power chargers. This project serves as a model for what America urgently needs in every region: scalable, reliable, investor-ready charging hubs that can support the next wave of EV adoption.

Whether you are an investor, policymaker, EV enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of transportation, this episode lays out the roadmap—and the opportunity—to help shape the national network America needs.

Be Prepared for the Hardships. Entrepreneurship isn't about avoiding hardship; it's about choosing which hardship you can stomach. In this week's podcast episode, Sergej Marojevic shared something powerful as a guest with host Maxine Morel: "The road to success isn't paved with comfort. It's lined with challenges designed to test whether you want it badly enough."We forget this essential truth. Everyone wants freedom, but few embrace the responsibility that comes with it.

Maxine's words:

• Employee life = predictable problems

• Entrepreneur life = unpredictable problems

Both are hard. CHOOSE your hard. The difference? As an entrepreneur, those hardships are YOURS. Your sleepless nights. Your financial risks. Your constant decisions.But also your victories. Your creation. Your legacy. A conversation with Sergej from QCharge dives deep into preparing for these inevitable struggles. It's not about avoiding them—it's about developing the resilience to push through them . Because here's the truth most won't tell you: The rewards on the other side are worth every sleepless night. Link in comments.A big thank you to Sergej for being my guest this week 🙏 .What's the hardest part of your entrepreneurial journey that was ultimately worth it?

In this episode of Q in Charge, host Joe the Q unpacks the hidden realities behind America’s EV charging boom — the money powering it, the grid straining to sustain it, and the fleets driving it forward.
