The Charge Point Podcast

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the UK’s electric vehicle charging market. Our guests, Jan Rosenow (Regulatory Assistance Project), Melanie Shufflebotham (Zapmap), and Jeanne Buée (Rho Motion), share valuable insights into the market’s evolution, challenges, and opportunities.

We discuss the UK government’s ambitious electrification goals, the transformative potential of battery energy storage systems for Charge Point Operators, and Zapmap’s pivotal role in connecting EV drivers with charging infrastructure.

A few months ago, we organised a webinar which was so insightful that we have decided to turn it into a podcast episode. We had invited local experts, each with their specific point of view, to discuss the serious grid congestion challenges that EV charging professionals are facing in the Netherlands, one of the most mature markets in the World.

• Sjors Geraedts, Business Developer at iWell
• Bart de Groot, Senior Product Manager at Fudura (NB: Bart has since joined Electra)
• Robert Brehm, CTO and co-founder of FLEXECHARGE

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the ever-evolving UK EV charging market. Joined by Adam Healy, a Senior Consultant at Roland Berger UK, and Chantal Shearing, a seasoned e-mobility consultant, the discussion explores how the UK compares to other European markets and what sets its EV ecosystem apart.

The conversation delves into key topics like the challenges of grid constraints, and how Charge Point Operators can navigate an increasingly competitive environment. Chantal shares insights on the role of dynamic pricing, while Adam offers practical strategies for operators to capitalise on opportunities while addressing pressing industry challenges.

Don’t miss the chance to gain actionable insights and a fresh perspective on this rapidly advancing market. And look out for a second episode about the UK market, which will be released in a few weeks.

In this episode, we sit down with Pavol Magic, CEO & co-founder of Zoniq, a company at the forefront of leveraging data to transform the EV charging landscape. Pavol shares Zoniq’s journey—from its inception to its current role as a leader in land-grabbing & roll-out optimization for Charge Point Operators (CPOs). We delve into Zoniq’s innovative use of Big Data and AI to streamline decision-making and maximize infrastructure efficiency.We also explore the critical role of data brokers in enabling seamless data sharing across the e-mobility ecosystem and how such collaboration can unlock new levels of connectivity and efficiency. And, to finish with, Pavol tells us about the recent and ambitious report that they have developed: "The State of Public EV Charging in Europe 2024”.
