Listen to the latest episode of Talking New Energy on Apple, Spotify and other podcast providers. This week, host Jon Slowe is joined by Christopher Burgahn, Product & Partner Manager, Share and Charge Foundation; Joanna Hubbard, Co-Founder and CEO at Electron; and Delta-EE expert Neil Atterbury, exploring the role that blockchain is playing in the transition from old to new energy.

In response to this week's UK Budget announcement, Delta-EE responds:

“We welcome today’s budget’s announcement of £500m for rapid charging hubs – but we need to consider how we power this too. There are no two ways about it, smart charging will be critical in how we balance our networks in future. As EV volumes continue to rise, a smart approach will be required to avoid power cuts or curtail the supply of power to EVs, as well as helping energy suppliers to match what they buy with what they sell to customers.”

Further responses from the energy and electric vehicles industry can be found on the FleetPoint website.
