Episode 81: Liz Allan and Lawrence Della Valla - Tech, Cars, and Family in the EV Era.

Liz Allan speaks to Lawrence Della Valle, the COO of PayThru and an aficionado of the latest in electric mobility. With a rich background that transitions from banking with giants like Ulster Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland to his current passion at the intersection of technology and logistics at Paythru. Liz and Lawrence plug into personal anecdotes and insights on transitioning from traditional vehicles to the innovative lifestyle of driving EVs. Lawrence recounts his early encounters with his Tesla, and we dive into how electric vehicles reshape daily routines and road trips.

Lawrence shares his perspective on the convenience of charging at home against the backdrop of infrastructure improvements needed for a seamless EV experience. They discuss Lawrence's involvement with PayThru, notably in streamlining the payment process for necessities like shopping, parking, and EV charging, which takes centre stage as we tackle the ever-present topic of range anxiety and the quest for accessible and reliable charging stations.

Lawrence Della Valla Bio:
