Permits, Power, Price – The REAL Challenges For EV Charging with Osprey
In this episode of the Fully Charged SHOW Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, to explore the pivotal factors shaping the future of EV charging. Together, they debunk myths about evenly distributed chargers, uncover what makes a charging location truly great, and explain why landlords are increasingly on board with hosting charge points.
They also dive into the hurdles of deployment, the potential impact of the ZEV mandate and its consultation, and the burning question on everyone’s mind: Why hasn’t the cost of public rapid charging dropped? Plus, they discuss how the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) could be a game-changer for lowering costs and supporting both charging networks and OEMs. Get ready for a deep dive on the challenges and opportunities driving the EV charging revolution!
