⚡ Episode Overview
What happens when EV charging growth collides with grid reality?
In this special episode of the Charge Point Podcast, we take you inside INTERFACE Benelux - a live event where industry leaders gathered to tackle one of the biggest challenges in electrification today: grid constraints.
Through a series of short interviews recorded on-site, you’ll hear how key players across EV charging, battery storage, and energy markets are adapting — and what it really takes to keep scaling in a grid-constrained world.
You'll hear interviews with Robert (FLEXECHARGE), Tessa (Intercel), Mike (Kwetta), Peter (Floading) and Jan (FLEXECHARGE).
🎧 What You’ll Learn
- Why the grid - not the charger - is now the main bottleneck
- How BESS (battery storage) is becoming essential to unlock new charging capacity
- What “energy orchestration” really means for modern charging sites
- Where the real value lies in flexibility markets today
- Why EV charging sites are evolving into full energy systems
🧠 Key Takeaways
- EV charging has entered a new phase: from deployment → to energy optimisation
- Grid constraints are structural, not temporary
- BESS + EMS + smart orchestration are becoming the new standard
- Flexibility is no longer theoretical - it’s a real business lever
- The industry is still early - and learning in real time
🚀 Why This Matters
As EV adoption accelerates, the ability to work with the grid - not against it - will define the winners in this space.
This episode gives you a front-row seat to how leading players are already making that shift.
