Today, I'm in conversation with James McKemey, Head of External Affairs at Pod Point Ltd, a leading electric vehicle (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 Ltd.
