When EV Charging Meets Flexibility Markets
As renewable energy scales across Europe, the challenge is no longer just producing electricity — it is balancing supply and demand in real time. This is where flexibility markets and digital energy systems become critical.
EV charging infrastructure is rapidly emerging as a key part of this system. With thousands of connected assets and predictable consumption patterns, it represents a powerful source of grid flexibility, load management, and smart energy orchestration.
In this episode of the FLEXECHARGE podcast, Christophe speaks with Jeff Knoepfli, CEO of Survoltage, a French Balancing Service Provider (BSP). Together, they explore how flexibility markets work in practice, how EV smart charging can generate new revenue streams, and why EV charging is becoming a core component of the energy system.
