  • Building our Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure With James McKemey, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Pod Point
    Jan 30 2023

    In this episode, Kenny talks to James McKemey from Pod Point about the EV charging ecosystem and the work they are doing to support the mass adoption of electric vehicles in the UK and Ireland.

    Founded in 2009, Pod Point is a charging infrastructure provider, committed to building the charging solutions we need to enable mass adoption of electric vehicles. We talk about why home and workplace charging is the future EV solution and why we still have to defend the purchase of an EV because of its charge time.

    We also discuss how the processes around charging and petrol refueling fundamentally differ, the current challenges in the industry and how this market is likely to develop in the future.
