Episode 31 - Heavy Fleets, Lean Stacks & Smart Ops: Live From ICNC 2025
When EV Charging Moves Beyond Deployment
As the EV charging industry matures, success is increasingly determined by what happens after chargers are installed. Reliability, operational efficiency, software integration, and energy management are becoming key differentiators for Charge Point Operators (CPOs), fleet operators, and infrastructure providers.
At the same time, new segments such as heavy-duty transport are accelerating the need for smarter charging infrastructure. Fleet electrification requires more than chargers—it demands integrated solutions that connect vehicles, energy systems, financing, operations, and digital tools.
In this special episode of the FLEXECHARGE podcast, recorded live at ICNC 2025 in Berlin, Christophe speaks with Lasse Netterstrøm (COO, Fleetgrid), Martin Moos (Co-Founder, Elevathors), and Maren Rehnelt (Managing Director, Evailable). Together, they explore how EV smart charging is evolving through fleet electrification, modular software ecosystems, and AI-powered operations.
What You Will Learn in This Episode
This episode is packed with practical insights for CPOs, fleet operators, software
providers, and charging infrastructure stakeholders.
Key learnings include:
- Why electric trucking and depot charging are emerging as some of the fastest-growing segments in EV charging infrastructure development
- How EV smart charging increasingly relies on specialized software platforms rather than monolithic end-to-end solutions
- Why load management and operational intelligence are becoming critical for scaling charging infrastructure efficiently
- How AI-powered operations can improve charger uptime, automate troubleshooting, and reduce operational costs for CPOs
- Why fleet operators need integrated solutions that combine charging infrastructure, financing, and energy management to accelerate electrification
- How the EV charging ecosystem is moving toward modular technology stacks where specialized solutions work together through APIs and integrations
Expert Insight
“Maybe a few years ago we saw platforms being very wide and saying they can have all of the capabilities. What we're seeing now is that the CPOs are maturing and integrating specialized solutions into their existing businesses.”
