In this kickoff episode of our Depot & Fleet Charging special series, Christophe Lephilibert welcomes two top experts to unpack one of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—in EV infrastructure: electrifying depots. 

First, Casper Norden, CEO of Decade Energy, shares why the future of logistics hinges on building smart, scalable depot infrastructure today, not tomorrow. We talk power availability, innovative financing models, and what it really takes to decarbonize fleet operations at scale. 

Then, David Watts, from Pelican Engineering, brings us the fleet operator’s view: what depot electrification looks like from the ground up. He breaks down the operational challenges, energy management demands, and why thinking like an "energy manager" is now a must for any successful fleet. 

Key takeaways: 

• Depot electrification isn’t just technical—it’s a strategic move for fleets and CPOs. 
• Securing enough grid power early is critical to avoid bottlenecks. 
• Depot charging provides greater control, lower costs, and better operational reliability—but scaling it demands new skills and new partnerships. 
• The race is on to make depots "future ready" for large-scale EV operations. 

This episode sets the stage for a whole series of conversations with the people driving fleet electrification forward. Stay tuned for more!

Sweden has long been seen as a European leader in electric mobility—but today, the EV momentum is slowing. With declining EV sales and growing infrastructure pressures, this episode explores what’s happening in a country that was supposed to be leading the charge, and what it means for the future of Charge Point Operators. 

In this episode of the Charge Point Podcast: 

We speak with two key voices from the Nordic EV scene: 

• Rikard Boije Af Gennäs – Partner at Implement Consulting Group 
• David Lincoln Blom – Head of Brand, Marketing & Communications at Recharge 

What you’ll learn: 

🔹 Why EV adoption is slowing in Sweden—and why it matters beyond its borders 
🔹 How the “land grab” phase for CPOs is ending, and what replaces it 
🔹 Why grid-smart operations, data, and energy intelligence are now essential 
🔹 How Recharge is adapting to changing market dynamics and policy landscapes 
🔹 The critical role public subsidies play in sustaining EV growth 

Key takeaways: 

• Rikard shares why CPOs must now shift from growth-at-all-costs to operational excellence—optimizing infrastructure, energy usage, and pricing to stay competitive. 
• Lincoln offers an inside look at how Recharge is pivoting—using a more selective, grid-aware strategy while maintaining a strong focus on customer experience and long-term profitability. 

Sweden’s EV story isn’t over—it’s evolving. 
Join us for a practical and strategic look at what it takes to charge ahead in a maturing, and more complex, EV landscape.
