191 - The Electric Miles Episode
About this episode
Arun Anand, founder of Electric Miles, discusses how their smart charging app helps EV drivers save money and supports grid demand management by automating charging times based on tariffs and grid needs. The company integrates with various chargers and car brands, aiming to expand into vehicle-to-grid technology for energy discharge back to homes or the grid. Electric Miles works closely with UK distribution system operators (DSOs) to enable demand response services, reducing peak loads and supporting renewable energy use. The startup is currently raising funds to grow its technology and user base, with plans to scale and monetize through B2B partnerships and grid contracts.
In Episode 192 Gary chats with Arun Anand from Electric Miles, a company with big plans for helping people charge better at home as well as balance the grid through the use of their technology.
Arun talks about the steps he's taken to get this in place and how it will help manage energy demand across the country.
