The EVs for Everyone Podcast’s Post

How will the convergence of Electric Vehicle (EV) capabilities, costs, and consumer demand shape the future of transportation and our environment?   In this episode I'm in conversation with James McKemey, Head of External Affairs at Pod Point, a leading EV charging infrastructure company in the UK. James, Pod Point’s most longstanding member, has been instrumental in the company's growth from a small team to its IPO on the London Stock Exchange in November 2021. His work with the government, media, and industry has significantly influenced UK legislation on zero-emission goals, building regulations, charge point readiness, smart charging, public charging, and EV tax and grant incentive programmes.   In this episode, we discuss: - EV trends, adoption, and their environmental impact. - The economics of electric power, the falling cost of resources, and the total ownership cost of EVs. - The future of V2X: vehicle-to-load, vehicle-to-home, and vehicle-to-grid. - Battery evolution and its industry impact. - How EVs are stabilising macro- and microgrids.   Among other things…   As EV capability, cost, and consumer demand converge, it seems we're at a critical juncture for the industry. Learning about these innovations from James, who is not just an industry expert but also a personal friend, was incredibly enjoyable. So with that, I am excited to present to you James McKemey, Head of External Affairs at Pod Point.   Substack: https://lnkd.in/giHE4YW4 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/g2X3vqyV   Apple: https://lnkd.in/gvzQcd89 Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gBv7XvW8     #TFO #TheFutureOf #EVs #microgrids #sustainability #batteryinnovation #goodolddays

❓ Did you know that you can charge your electric car on the go without a charging card or app at more and more charging stations? The solution is called Plug & Charge. 🚘 🔌   ➡ You drive to the charging station with your ID. model. As soon as the charging cable is plugged in, encrypted and secure communication starts between the car and the charging station.   ➡ This authentication only takes a few seconds, then the charging process begins.   ➡ "Plug & Charge" is used in the networks of IONITY, Aral, bp, Enel Group, EON, Iberdrola and Eviny, for example.   Cashless payment for the electric age. Easier than you might think 😎   #VW #Volkswagen #IDFamily #EMobility
