Episode 15 - Tritium, Transformed & Charging Forward

Why The Next Phase Of EV Charging Requires Smarter Power

‍
The first wave of EV charging infrastructure was defined by one objective: deploy more chargers and deliver more power. As EV adoption accelerated across Europe, Charge Point Operators raced to expand networks and install higher-power charging stations to meet growing demand.

‍
Today, the market is entering a new phase. Grid constraints, energy costs, battery integration, and operational profitability are becoming just as important as charging speed. The challenge is no longer simply delivering power—it is delivering power intelligently.

‍
In this episode of The Charge Point Podcast, Christophe sits down with Matt Stace, Sales Director Nordics at Tritium, to discuss Tritium’s pioneering role in DC fast charging, the company's recent challenges, its acquisition by Exicom, and the technologies shaping the future of EV charging infrastructure. The conversation also explores why battery integration, load management, and smarter energy orchestration are becoming essential for Charge Point Operators.

What You Will Learn From This Episode

‍
As the EV charging market matures, infrastructure providers must balance charging performance, grid limitations, and profitability.

‍

Key learnings:

‍

• How Tritium helped pioneer the global DC fast charging market, including the development of some of the industry's first 50 kW and 350 kW charging systems.
• Why the EV charging industry is moving beyond simply delivering higher power and toward smarter power management.
• How battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming critical for deploying EV charging infrastructure in grid-constrained environments.
• Why Charge Point Operators increasingly need load management and energy optimization solutions to avoid costly grid upgrades and demand charges.
• How integrating batteries, solar generation, and charging infrastructure can transform charging sites into intelligent energy hubs.
• Why interoperability between charging hardware and energy management platforms is becoming essential as charging infrastructure becomes more integrated with the wider energy system.
