EV roaming: the digital scale required with Christian Hahn
Manage episode 352777446 series 3416458
The new year is here and with it, Mike and Kevin are excited to chat about one of e-mobility’s most misunderstood elements, roaming.
While the word “roaming” may bring to mind an exorbitant cell phone bill from that holiday abroad, in the EV industry, roaming means something different. It drives the electric mobility revolution forward by making charge points from different networks available to all EV drivers - no matter what app they use. Or at least, that’s the ultimate goal. But there remains a lot of work to be done until we have a truly accessible and interoperable network of charge points throughout Europe.
Today they had Hubject’s CEO Christian Hahn on the show. As the leader of Europe’s largest roaming platform, Christian shares with us some industry insights and challenges, including how many solution providers don’t yet see the benefit of opening their charging networks, how a lack of international standards can create headaches for your everyday EV driver and business owners alike, and the many misconceptions around why roaming is a critical component to widespread EV adoption.
