In-Between Charges

On the last episode of season 1, Mike and Kevin uncover a hidden gem from the largest machine that man ever made: grid service schemes.  You might be asking, what on earth are these schemes? In short, they make the grid more sustainable by providing flexibility in the amount of assets that can help support it, opening up new opportunities for businesses to make a profit. In long, listen to the epi...

There is no special guest on the show this month, but don’t despair! More EV industry info and news are coming your way. Our hosts Mike and Kevin crowdsourced some listener questions and they are here to give you the answers.  Is range anxiety real? Aren’t EV batteries really resource heavy?? Why is there such a disparity in EV adoption between the U.S. and Europe?!! We’ve got you covered. Get to...

Denmark, like the rest of Scandinavia, is a nation at the forefront of the transition to electrification and e-mobility in Europe and the world. From public transport fleets to taxation plans for CO2, for years, Denmark has been implementing an extensive list of policies that promote an electric and sustainable lifestyle from the top down.  Different departments and leaders in Denmark have taken d...

The role of electric vehicles in a cleaner future is undeniable. Their widespread adoption will lead to cleaner transportation methods and improvements in our air quality, especially in densely populated areas, where dependency on fossil fuels in transportation makes up a significant proportion of all CO emissions. EVs open up a whole world of opportunities for how we consume, produce and interact...

The need to quickly roll out EV charging infrastructure is a central topic across the EV industry - some say there’s not enough, some say it needs to be more standardised, and some spend their days discussing how exactly to make EV charging a premium business and provide a great user experience. Important discussions are taking place at the highest level of multinational organisations and governme...

In today’s episode we dove into the impact of global net zero emission targets on two of the largest, and arguably most significant, industries in the race to net-zero: the automotive and energy industries. We are focusing on the UK and discussing the contrasts to Europe to understand how both regions are faring, and what strategies they’re employing to protect, transform and innovate in the face...

The new year is here and with it, Mike and Kevin are excited to chat about one of e-mobility’s most misunderstood elements, roaming. While the word “roaming” may bring to mind an exorbitant cell phone bill from that holiday abroad, in the EV industry, roaming means something different. It drives the electric mobility revolution forward by making charge points from different networks available to a...

Mike and Kevin take a trip up north to uncover the secrets of the EV capital of the world: Norway. Norway is head and shoulders above every other country when it comes to EV adoption, with over 90% of new vehicle sales being EVs. From removing those notoriously high Scandinavian vehicle taxes to purchase incentives, along with charge plug standardization and the promotion of charging infrastructur...

In this episode, Mike and Kevin will unpack how the grid - an infrastructure that took almost 150 years to build - has to be transformed and in many cases even rebuilt from the ground up to accommodate for the electrical revolution of large-scale industries including transportation. The kicker? This transformation needs to happen NOW. Is this even possible? We brought in Christoffer Greaisen from...
