🎙️ Episode Overview 

In this episode, we dive into one of the most strategic topics for the future of EV charging: flexibility - and the role of BSPs (Balancing Service Providers). 

As renewable energy penetration increases, the grid is becoming more volatile - and the ability to adapt consumption in real time is turning into a critical asset. 

Together with Jeff Knoepfli, CEO & Founder of Survoltage, we explore how flexibility markets work, how energy assets can be orchestrated, and what it means concretely for charge point operators - across both commercial and residential contexts. 

⚡ What You’ll Learn 

• What a Balancing Service Provider actually does 
• How flexibility markets work - from a practical, operator perspective 
• Why EV charging infrastructure is becoming a key flexibility asset 
• The role of aggregation, smart control, and real-time optimisation 
• How CPOs can start unlocking new revenue streams from their assets 
• How flexibility also applies to B2C use cases, including smart homes and residential energy management 
• The growing convergence between B2C, B2B, and EV charging flexibility 

🔍 Key Takeaways for CPOs 

• Flexibility is moving from “nice-to-have” to a core component of the EV charging business model 
• Your charging infrastructure can become a revenue-generating asset, not just a cost center 
• You don’t need to go all-in immediately — start with pilots and scale 
• Batteries + smart energy management + BSP integration = value stacking opportunity 
• The market is evolving fast — early movers will capture the most value
