AI in Automotive - #503 - Mike Kent, GridBeyond and Alex Iriondo, Monta

Mike Kent from GridBeyond and Alex Iriondo from Monta to join the AI in Automotive Podcast to share how fleet managers can adapt to the opportunities that electrified fleets represent.

Fleet electrification can appear intimidating, but after this chat with Mike and Alex, I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities that electrified fleets hold. We are just scratching the surface at this point in time, using fleet assets to deliver flexibility and grid services. But as the ecosystem matures, the sky is the limit - fleet assets aggregated as a Virtual Power Plant, vehicle to grid and vehicle to building - all of this is coming in the near future, and promises to revolutionise how fleets are acquired, operated and managed.

One of the most interesting ways in which EVs are accelerating the mobility-energy convergence is through virtual power plans, or VPPs. On the one hand, EV fleets aggregated as a VPP provide value to the grid by offering flexibility and balancing services. On the other, it allows fleet owners, operators and vehicle owners to benefit financially, reducing their charging bills or their lease payments. Johanna Izett from Hive Power joins the AI in Automotive Podcast to discuss the potential of aggregating electric vehicles as Virtual Power Plants, delivering benefits to the grid as well as to fleet operators. We also chat about Hive Power’s Flexo platform utilises AI to bring the idea to life.
