Joining Robert on the podcast this week is Gagan Dhillon, Co-Founder at Synop.ai, a Fleet EV Charging Management company that is making huge strides in the V2G and Virtual Power Plant sector.   There are close to half a million school buses across America, doing what school buses do, sitting idle in yards for most of the day. Well, Gagan and the Synop team have spotted an opportunity to make them far more useful by electrifying them and utilising the huge batteries as virtual power plants when they aren’t delivering students to school.   With more than 6000 electric buses already in active service, the tech works and it’s making a big impact. In this podcast Gagan takes Robert through how Synop approach the challenge and deliver optimised charging solutions that are cleaner and greener.     To learn more about Synop, click here: https://www.synop.ai/       Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show       Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff   Become a Fully Charged SHOW Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow   Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0     Find us on Youtube:   Fully Charged Show: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow   Everything Electric Show: https://www.youtube.com/@EverythingElectricShow     Subscribe for episode alerts and the Fully Charged newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/   Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fullychargedshw Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fullychargedshow   #FullyChargedPodcast #Synop.ai #GaganDhillon #virtualpowerplants     Tags: Robert Llewellyn Fully Charged Show Podcast Fully Charged Show Everything Electric LIVE Gagan Dhillon Synop

Joining Robert on the podcast this week is Dave Borlace from the Just Have a Think YouTube channel.   Dave was with us recently at our Everything Electric LONDON expo, and we just had to get him back here on the podcast.   Diving straight into how best we can tackle the climate crisis, along with the pros and cons of small nuclear reactors and off-shore and on-shore wind. We also learn what utter nonsense the WLTP range numbers of EVs are!  Robert also shares the scary fact that the area of land currently being used for golf courses in the UK, if used for renewables could more than satisfy the whole country’s energy demand, and rightly he asks “Do we want Golf or Energy?!”. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below!   Once these two get started, they really are UNSTOPPABLE! We hope you enjoy this very entertaining and enlightening chat.
