You've probably seen the Pilot, or Pilot Flying J, logo on your road trips if you've been around the US highway system. They operate a top-shelf fueling network, and over the last few years, they've worked with partners like EVgo and General Motors to put that expertise into charging. Max speaks with their director of light duty EV infrastructure, Scott Hundley, on how they plan to continue adding value to EV drivers. All the while, national fuel prices are driving more towards electrification, so the charging has to work.

Some highlights of the convo:
- Pilot's advantage in operating a 24/7 convenience store and being able to benchmark their gas fueling business
- Their site and pricing strategy as a more premium option along major highway corridors and recreation gateways
- How they work to keep pace with EV world, which moves at a mile a minute (i.e. the transition to NACS plugs)
- What's coming next down the pipeline, and Scott's personal favorite amenity for EV drivers
