In this episode of the Insider's Guide to Energy EV series, hosts Chris Sass and Niall Riddell are joined by Tore Harritshøj, a founder of Spirii, to discuss the transformative stages of the e-mobility market. Tore introduces the concept of the three waves of
e-mobility, explaining how the initial phase was driven by basic hardware development, leading to the introduction of simple, non-intelligent chargers. The conversation delves into how the market evolved with the integration of advanced software, making chargers smarter and more user-friendly, similar to the transition from basic mobile phones to smartphones.
Tore elaborates on the significant role that intelligent software plays in the current phase of e-mobility, highlighting its potential to turn charging infrastructure into profitable ventures through innovative revenue streams such as grid balancing, carbon credits, and advanced demand load management. The discussion explores the analogy between the evolution of telecommunication technology and the e-mobility sector, emphasizing the future potential of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve as massive mobile batteries that support the power grid, ultimately making EV charging potentially free for consumers.
The podcast also addresses the differing levels of e-mobility adoption across various regions, particularly comparing the advanced state of the market in Northern Europe with the developing landscape in North America. Tore predicts a rapid catch-up in the U.S. market within the next few years, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors. The episode wraps up with a forward-looking discussion on the future of commercial vehicle charging and the impact of shared infrastructure on fleet management, providing valuable insights for businesses looking to adapt to the evolving e-mobility ecosystem. Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic shifts in the EV charging landscape and the exciting future of e-mobility.
