The Charge Point Podcast

In this second episode of our energy retailer series, we sit down with Marc Skriver-Bayer from Q8 Denmark to explore how the company is pivoting from petrol to power. Marc shares Q8’s electrification strategy across Denmark and Sweden, their shift from renting to owning EV infrastructure, and the cultural transformation behind the scenes. A must-listen for anyone tracking how traditional fuel retailers are adapting to the EV era.

In this special episode, three top-tier investors — Thomas Labryga (Vireo Ventures), Terhi Vapola (Greencode Ventures), and Laurits Bach Sørensen (Nordic Alpha Partners) — share what drives their investment decisions in the fast-moving world of energy and mobility. From early signals of traction to post-investment expectations, and insights from scaling companies like Spirii, the conversation offers rare, candid guidance. Bonus: both Vireo and Greencode explain why they chose to reinvest in FLEXECHARGE.

Essential listening for CPOs, founders, and anyone navigating the EV infrastructure boom.

Recorded live at EVS38 in Gothenburg, this special edition of the Charge Point Podcast features four dynamic conversations with industry leaders driving the evolution of EV charging infrastructure across Europe.

Join Christophe as he explores the major challenges and innovations shaping today’s CPO landscape — from megawatt-scale charging and battery integration to public smart charging and grid optimisation.

Featuring:

• Barry Ye, General Manager at Sinexcel Europe Shares how one of China’s biggest EV hardware players is bringing scalable, CE-compliant charging solutions to Europe, with a focus on modularity, user-friendliness, and grid stability.
• Martin Haagensen Strøm, BU Manager at Omexom Norway Talks about building high-voltage and depot-scale infrastructure in the world’s most advanced EV market, tackling grid capacity, storage integration, and e-truck readiness.
• Tommaso Difonzo, BD Manager & Research Program Manager at Engie Laborelec Offers insights into smart charging at city scale, with a behind-the-scenes look at how Rotterdam is optimizing 15,000 public charge points for energy flexibility and grid services.
• Andreas Gronarz, European BD Director Energy Storage at Infy Power Europe Discusses compact, liquid-cooled power modules, integrated BESS, and how Infy is helping CPOs deploy faster and smarter, especially in grid-constrained environments.

Belgium’s EV market is booming — but what’s really driving this transformation? In this episode, we unpack the rise of EVs and charging infrastructure in Belgium with insights from two key players: Kris Dierckx (TSG Group) and Louis-Charles Mosseray (ELECTRA). From the explosion in BEV adoption and public charging rollouts to Belgium’s role as a transit corridor for electric trucks, we explore how this once-sleepy market is becoming a serious contender in Europe’s EV transition. Tune in to discover what Belgium can teach the rest of Europe — and where the next charging frontier lies.
