What's up, everyone! Today we're sharing an episode with Joseph Vellone, the CEO of ChargeScape — a Joint Venture between Ford, Honda, BMW, and Nissan. -----Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Pocket Casts-----As the grid continues to buckle under the pressure of ever-increasing demand, it's more important than ever to find ways to manage the existing load. However, it's not all bad. One of the main demand drivers might be the core solution to these demand problems—namely, EVs, when paired with smart charging software. You see, all these EVs are essentially backup batteries. Currently, not all are equipped with bi-directional charging, but most new vehicles hitting the roads are. So, not only can a smart charging software, managed by utilities, alleviate demand on the grid, it can also pull energy from the vehicles when the time is right (again, when the hardware capabilities are present). -----Support our Work with a Paid Subscription-----This fundamentally shifts our perspective on vehicles. Instead of a cost center, it could earn you money by purchasing cheap energy, or charging on solar for free, and selling back to the grid at peak demand times. This is the type of utopian future we work towards — and the best part, it's becoming reality in front of us. Topics **01:35 Revolutionizing EV Charging**05:21 Joseph Vellone's Journey in Renewable Energy**07:47 The Unique Opportunity at ChargeScape**12:00 Transforming the EV Charging Experience**13:30 Make Money w/ Smart Charging**18:04 The Future of EVs + Renewable Energy**20:03 Building a High-Performance Team**23:10 Managing Startup Intensity Without Burnout**25:58 How to Successfully Sell to Utilities**28:50 The Benefits of Having Automakers as Strategic Investors**31:17 The Role of AI in ChargeScape's Strategy**33:44 Understanding EV Industry Backlash**37:59 Resilience of EV Charging Amid Political PushbackLinks**Joseph Vellone | ChargeScape**Connect with Somil on LinkedIn | Support the showIf you're gonna change the world, you're gonna need a world-class team.

This conversation offers an illuminating view into the intersection of entrepreneurship, climate innovation, and ecosystem-building, as seen through the partnership between SparkCharge and the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI). Josh Aviv, Founder and CEO of SparkCharge, and Matt Petersen, President and CEO of LACI, detail the transformative impact of incubator support on the successful deployment of cleantech solutions—particularly in addressing the critical infrastructure gap in electric vehicle (EV) charging. SparkCharge has emerged as a category-defining company in mobile EV charging. Its innovation lies in offering modular, off-grid battery systems capable of delivering fast, flexible charging to electric vehicle fleets without requiring permanent infrastructure. This is particularly significant in a landscape where the traditional rollout of fixed EV charging stations can take years. By contrast, SparkCharge can bring fleet operations online within days. The technology is not only scalable and cost-effective but addresses a central barrier to EV adoption in underserved or infrastructure-poor locations. Central to SparkCharge's success is its long-standing relationship with LACI. Matt Petersen outlines LACI's mission to build an inclusive green economy by supporting early-stage climate-focused ventures through incubation, access to capital, and workforce training. SparkCharge's trajectory through LACI exemplifies this support in action. From winning the California Climate Cup in 2019 to refining investor pitches, connecting with early customers, and leveraging non-dilutive funding and working capital, SparkCharge benefited from a full-spectrum, hands-on approach to scaling. LACI's model demonstrates how climate incubation can go beyond office space and mentoring. Their wraparound support includes executive coaching, pilot funding, capital stack innovation through debt and equity funds, and workforce integration. Notably, SparkCharge leveraged LACI's microloan program—created to fill a critical gap in startup financing—alongside its ecosystem of commercial partners and regulators, including influential environmental agencies and private investors who visited the LACI campus to see SparkCharge's technology in action. Aviv articulates the entrepreneurial journey with candor, underscoring the emotional endurance, strategic clarity, and spiritual conviction required to lead a startup addressing systemic challenges. He emphasizes that being an entrepreneur demands both resilience and vision, particularly when pioneering novel business models that must educate the market as much as serve it. Petersen complements this by advocating for a broader understanding of entrepreneurship—not just for founders, but also for civic and social actors he calls “citizen entrepreneurs.” He urges others to find opportunities in their own communities to champion sustainability, reinforcing the importance of localized, mission-driven leadership at every level.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, it was founded by Peter Thiel,[4] Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale,[5] and Alex Karp in 2003. The company has four main projects: Palantir Gotham, Palantir Foundry, Palantir Apollo, and Palantir AIP. Palantir Gotham is an intelligence and defense tool used by militaries and counter-terrorism analysts. Its customers included the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and United States Department of Defense.[6] Their software as a service (SaaS) is one of five offerings authorized for Mission Critical National Security Systems (IL5[7]) by the U.S. Department of Defense.[8][9] Palantir Foundry is used for data integration and analysis by corporate clients such as Morgan Stanley, Merck KGaA, Airbus, Wejo, Lilium, PG&E and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.[10] Palantir Apollo is a platform to facilitate continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) across all environments.[11][12] Palantir's original clients were federal agencies of the USIC. It has since expanded its customer base to serve both international as well as state and local governments, and also to private companies.[13]     Palantir software connects data, analytics, and operations to help organizations make decisions and improve efficiency. Palantir's software is used by government agencies and commercial enterprises.  How Palantir works 1.    Connects data: Palantir connects to data systems, data lakes, and platforms.  2.    Analyzes data: Palantir analyzes data to find trends, relationships, and anomalies.  3.    Visualizes data: Palantir visualizes data to help users understand insights.  4.    Automates processes: Palantir automates processes to help users save time and improve efficiency.  5.    Improves decision-making: Palantir helps users make better decisions by providing data-driven insights.    Palantir has multiple platforms, including: ·         Palantir Gotham: Used by government agencies to detect patterns and derive insights from large amounts of data  ·         Palantir Foundry: Used by commercial enterprises to integrate data, perform simulations, and optimize workflows  ·         Palantir AIP: Used to deploy large language models and other AI within a private network    Failure of 911 terrorist attacks where government organizations were not sharing information. Government has to be able to sift through large amounts of data, looking for a terrorist network, the old needle in a haystack. Software allows government to go thru data, and also share information. In the past governments could run spy networks only, now with computer hackers, it could be run by anybody with a computer. Hard to search for terrorist, very creative. In carps view, you have to think like an entrepreneur and be tactical when going after them.   Cannot think in a static fashion, how did they do it in the past. When a terrorist is caught using a cell phone, they adapt to figure out how do they get caught and then use a different method. It's like game theory, you have to think ahead of the terrorist and find their patterns before they even realize they are leaving pattern. Terrorist may think in different terms that society deems as destructive, but it still may be very creative, almost like an entrepreneur. Per carp, you need creative and adaptive thinkers to go after the bad guys.   Cyber war is a real threat and not going anywhere. Need the government to combat it, but also must watch what the government is doing to not trample on civil liberties. Need to be able to track the data to see how the government went about things and did its targeting. Data destruction & Tag data - Know where the data came from, so government can use it lawfully.   You do not want to share data with the government, and then have the government use it against you. Because of technology and computers spying is democracized, a group of three teenagers at a coffee shop can launch a cyber attack. Systems can track down where these terrorists are, and show you the patterns of who they might be even if they can identify them directly.   Government and large health insurance companies already have a lot of data. The question is, how are they using it, is it being used in a lawful way? With Palantir software, you cannot only look for the terrorist, but you can also watch how the government uses the data   Can use Palantir software on top of current software to work through data Palantir and SpaceX companies – achieved $ Billion dollar valuation Unicorn status  Funded at loss for years, took decade to get Govt contracts   Name comes from the seeing stone in Lord of the Rings Powerful technology, that can help watch over the world, has massive, ethical implications Software helps government and businesses look over data and watch on people, but can infringe on privacy - Paradox of security vs freedom Also raises questions about privacy, verse convenience, a kin to the issue with current social media  Solve terrorism problem in big way Fight terrorism on a large scale, verse just smaller tactics with airport security   Fight terrorism at the high-level, verse low level tech with airport security and other measures that are very cumbersome and overbearing Coordinate resources better Hard to start in defense company, and this is the next generation   Palantir is coming up with a simple high-tech solution, to handle a serious and complicated problem Pre-911, government not prepared or organized to handle global terrorist threat, and many of the solutions were over the top and heavy handed   Company provides targeted efficient reactions, verse broad wide solutions There is both philosophical and technological debate on how this software can and should be used They also believe they can be more transparent, show accountability, and actually prevent government overreach Check NSA and FISA courts if used, it is not Security and CIA type orgs need secrecy Palantir could track actions of these orgs for review   Large organization, bureaucracy, often have outdated technology, and reporting, so hard to do oversight, can be very confusing Often these organizations want plausible deniability, so they don't want their accounting to be reviewed, and will list expenditures under different things, this could be seen as fraud Technology is both disruptive and how it can go through data, but also disruptive that I can force accountability and bring stuff to light   Creative accounting and inefficiency could come to an end. This forces people to adapt and change their ways. Human nature is not always open to this. Belief by CEO, how important it is to choose the right partner in person and business You want to work with people who will challenge your ideas, so you have the discipline and rigor to think out and give evidence behind when while your idea is right, or at the very least not wrong   Scale to be plausibly right, and not wrong is very valuable in life  People must be resilient enough to challenge, even their own ideas. Company, culture, fosters, and environment, where people are open to think, challenge, status quo, but also must defend their thoughts. They foster independent thought, and not just one way thinking in the company Also ambition to work on bigger national projects   Future of defense contractors is in software, which they don't have a good history with. A lot of the best defense contractors make hardware. Palantir reviewed what the government was doing to fight terrorism, and how they were spending tens of billions of dollars on it. They were spending it in the wrong way, and the process needed to be rethought. Took years to get in with government. Building software for spies and intelligence industry.

Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague delves into the critical yet often overlooked aspect of electrification: EV charging infrastructure for multifamily housing. Tim welcomes Aubrey Gunnels, CEO and co-founder of 3V Infrastructure, a company that's tackling the significant gap in EV charging accessibility for the 31% of Americans living in multifamily buildings.Aubrey explains how 3V's business model works – they provide all capital expenditure and operational costs while installing Level 2 chargers at multifamily properties at zero cost to property owners. The company generates revenue by charging drivers a premium on electricity rates, creating a sustainable business model that doesn't rely heavily on government subsidies. This approach addresses a crucial market need, as currently, only about 5% of multifamily buildings have EV chargers despite 80% of charging happening at home.The conversation explores how 3V uses data-driven approaches to determine the optimal number of chargers for each property, considering factors like local EV registration data, building demographics, and anticipated growth patterns. Aubrey shares insights about how property managers see EV charging as an increasingly important amenity that affects NOI (Net Operating Income) and resident retention.Tim and Aubrey discuss the challenges of EV infrastructure development in the US compared to Europe, the importance of charger reliability, and how private investment in charging infrastructure remains critical regardless of policy shifts. They also touch on the broader EV market trends, battery price decreases, and how the automotive sector's global competitiveness continues to drive EV development despite political changes.This episode provides valuable insights for real estate owners, property managers, clean energy professionals, and anyone interested in the future of transportation electrification.

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular, the need for efficient and intelligent charging solutions has emerged as a critical aspect of EV ownership. The advent of smart charging technologies, such as the CleverCharge system, offers a compelling solution for households with multiple EVs, enabling efficient energy management and enhancing the overall user experience.Understanding Smart Charging TechnologySmart charging refers to the use of advanced technologies to optimize the charging process of electric vehicles. This includes the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to assess the energy needs of each vehicle, monitor charging status, and facilitate scheduling based on energy costs and availability. The CleverCharge system exemplifies this innovation, providing a home level-two charger equipped with patented technology, including the CleverKey, which connects to a vehicle's standard diagnostic port. This connection allows the charger to access vital vehicle data, creating a comprehensive home charge management system.The Benefits of Smart Charging for Multiple EVsOne of the primary advantages of smart charging systems like CleverCharge is their ability to manage multiple EVs efficiently. In households where more than one electric vehicle is present, the challenge lies in ensuring that each car is charged adequately without overwhelming the electrical system or incurring high energy costs. The CleverCharge system addresses this by analyzing driving patterns and energy needs. For instance, if a user typically drives 50 miles on weekends, the system can alert them if their vehicle needs charging based on its current battery level, ensuring that they are prepared for their upcoming travels.Moreover, the system can prioritize charging based on urgency. If one vehicle requires immediate charging to meet a specific mileage requirement, the CleverCharge can initiate charging even during peak hours when electricity rates are higher. This intelligent scheduling is particularly beneficial in households with multiple EVs, where not every vehicle needs to be charged daily. By optimizing charging times and levels, users can take advantage of off-peak rates, reducing overall energy costs.Diagnostic Capabilities and Maintenance AlertsIn addition to managing charging schedules, smart charging systems can also provide diagnostic insights into vehicle health. For instance, the CleverCharge system can identify if a vehicle has a potential issue, indicated by a warning symbol on the app. This feature not only enhances user awareness but also encourages proactive maintenance, helping to avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensuring that each vehicle remains in optimal condition.Addressing Common ConcernsA common question among potential EV owners is the necessity of smart charging systems, especially when one might assume that simply charging a vehicle to full capacity each night would suffice. However, the reality is that many households may not have the time or capacity to charge every vehicle daily. In scenarios where multiple EVs are present, charging priorities will inevitably arise, and without a smart system in place, some vehicles may be left undercharged. The CleverCharge system mitigates this issue by intelligently managing charging schedules, ensuring that all vehicles are ready for use when needed.Conclusion: Smart Charging Saves Time and MoneyAs the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to rise, the demand for smart charging solutions will only grow. Systems like CleverCharge represent the future of EV charging, offering a sophisticated approach to energy management that not only caters to the needs of multiple vehicles but also promotes cost efficiency and vehicle maintenance. By embracing smart charging technologies, EV owners can enhance their driving experience, reduce energy costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Shoot us a Text.As we wind down another week, we're talking about how NADA and Mike Stanton are winding up their opposition of Scout Motors direct-to-consumer plans. Plus, we're looking at a report that says that EV charging isn't such a cost-effective alternative to gas, and how Shake Shack is introducing its first ever value meal.Show Notes with links:The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) has escalated its opposition to Scout Motors' direct-to-consumer sales model, sending a strongly worded letter to Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume and other top executives.In the letter, NADA CEO Mike Stanton argued that the franchise model would give Scout Motors immediate marketplace traction through a network of experienced dealers.The direct sales plan, which establishes Scout-branded experience centers, is set to launch in 2027 with the Traveler SUV and Terra pickup.The letter also highlighted the potential fallout of Scout's strategy, including prolonged legal battles across multiple states and a strained relationship with VW, Audi, and Porsche dealers.Stanton expressed disappointment over a lack of response to a previous letter sent in July 2023, noting that this latest message seeks a direct meeting with VW leadership.“The decision to directly distribute Scout in the United States and compete with your dedicated dealer body is misguided, violates well-established state franchise laws, and is one that I strongly encourage you to revisit.” — NADA CEO Mike StantonEV adoption has been touted as a cost-effective alternative to gasoline, but rising electricity costs in several states are challenging that narrative. While EVs remain cheaper to operate in some regions, escalating residential and public charging rates are narrowing the gap.Charging an EV at home in Massachusetts is 116% the cost of fueling an efficient gas car, while New York and California cost 92% and 90% respectively.Washington and Florida remain the most economical for EV driving, with electricity costs at 38% and 54% of gasoline costs.Public fast charging costs have surpassed gasoline in some areas, diminishing the financial incentive to switch to EVs.Homeowners with access to off-peak EV-specific electricity rates or home solar and battery storage can still find savings, but this requires an upfront investment.Shake Shack, known as the most expensive fast-food chain in America last year, has launched its first-ever budget-friendly combo meal to appeal to price-conscious consumers.The $9.99 combo includes a Chicken Shack sandwich, crinkle-cut fries, and a small soda. Buying the items separately would cost around $8 more.The deal is part of a broader trend in the fast-food industry, with competitors like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's also introducing value meals.Experts say inflation has reduced dining out, prompting restaurants toHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In this episode of In-Between Charges, we welcome back Ryan Fisher, Head of Charging Infrastructure at BloombergNEF, for an insightful discussion on the evolving EV charging landscape. With automakers increasingly stepping into the charging business, we explore how their strategies are shifting—balancing investment in infrastructure with the need for profitability. Ryan shares his take on why major players like IONNA and Ionity are forming joint ventures, how automakers are leveraging charging networks to enhance brand loyalty, and whether the business model can ever be as lucrative as selling vehicles.Beyond industry strategies, we also dive into the growing impact of policy changes on the EV ecosystem. From shifting fuel economy standards in the U.S. to evolving CO₂ regulations in Europe, Ryan explains how government intervention is shaping investment decisions. He also unpacks the recent volatility in EV adoption forecasts, the implications of paused NEVI funding, and why some markets are seeing surging charging costs while others remain competitive. With policy uncertainty looming, is the industry at an inflection point?Finally, we tackle the economic realities of charging infrastructure—where margins remain tight despite growing demand. Ryan sheds light on the challenges facing hardware manufacturers, the potential role of carbon credits in sustaining networks, and whether automakers will remain invested in charging long-term or eventually offload their networks. With insights from BloombergNEF's latest research and real-world case studies, this episode is a must-listen for anyone following the future of EV charging, policy, and electrification.Happy charging!
