In this episode of EV Musings, Gary Comerford explores the concept of roaming in electric vehicle charging, discussing its definition, importance, and the current landscape of roaming operators in the UK.

He highlights the benefits and challenges of roaming services, including interoperability, user convenience, and data privacy concerns.

The conversation also touches on the future of roaming and its potential impact on electric vehicle adoption and green transportation goals.

We also hear from podcast sponsors Zapmap as Melanie Shufflebotham explains how roaming operators such as Zap-Pay operate in the market.
