100. Accelerating Decarbonization at the Intersection of Transportation and EnergyAs the automotive landscape shifts toward electrification, how will the electric grid keep up? WeaveGrid is providing a technological bridge between industry players, from utilities to automakers to charging station operators, and in this episode, we dive into the intersection of technology, policy, and the electrification revolution.
With Special Guest:Apoorv Bhargava, CEO & Cofounder, WeaveGrid
“My worry is that the conversation is so dominated by critical minerals and the need for labor unions and the need for manufacturing capacity and this and that, that we are forgetting the fact that when we start cranking out 10 million vehicles a year in this country – forget getting to a place of having 280 on the road – we will find the grid is not ready to handle it and that we have not built out the requisite grid infrastructure and of course, the corresponding charging infrastructure to support it, but really importantly, the grid infrastructure. And, I think that is going to be a huge failure moment where we forgot that finding bottlenecks in supply chains isn’t just looking upstream. It also means looking downstream. And the grid, in my view, is one of the biggest downstream risks to large-scale electrification.”
Apoorv Bhargava is the CEO and Co-founder of WeaveGrid. WeaveGrid is a software company that drives rapid decarbonization at the intersection of clean energy and transportation, by helping some of the largest utilities and automakers transform electric vehicles into grid assets.

93. Who Owns the EV Customer?When the founder of EV charging company FreeWire took apart his first electric vehicle to find it resembled a washing machine motor, he realized that EVs would be the simpler and safer car that the world needed. After making a name in Silicon Valley as a one-man charging network, Arcady Sosinov’s company is revolutionizing the way retailers (formerly known as gas stations) are viewing their EV charging business.
With Special Guest:Arcady Sosinov, CEO, FreeWire Technologies
“I remember getting a Fiat 500E, it’s a little tiny car…I put it up on a lift, tore it apart, dropped the battery pack and I looked at what remained, and there was almost nothing on the ground. I mean, it was just a battery pack that was relatively simple to design at this point, a motor that was effectively a souped-up washing machine motor – the same motor that we’ve been using in washing machines for many decades now – and I just think about it now. Imagine you telling me or telling my kids one day that we used to drive around and there were thousands of little explosions that happened within the hood of the car and we had to control those little explosions. So how did those explosions happen? Well, we used dinosaurs and that concept seems crazy and complex. And when you look at how simple the platform the electric vehicle is, you start to think to yourself simplicity always wins. It always wins.”
Arcady is the Founder and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of FreeWire. Prior to founding FreeWire, he spent almost a decade in finance and investment management, most recently at GMO and prior to that BNY Mellon. Arcady holds an MBA from UC Berkeley and an economics degree from Boston University.

Episode #13. John Cooper: There’s Space in the Carbon Budget for Liquid & Petroleum Fuels
Clean Fuels for All
FuelsEurope
With Special Guest:John Cooper, Director General, FuelsEurope
“Our work started very soon after the Paris Agreement to look at what the transformation of the fuels industry can look like and what kind of technologies, feedstocks, and what kind of trajectory is implied by that work. And, we turned that into essentially a strategy for our industry to provide a pathway by 2050 for all of the remaining liquid fuels demand to be climate neutral. And we could see that some of that could go into each of the sectors, and it meant that both those objectives of meeting quality of life and also climate neutrality could be met with those remaining products that we would produce. And so we decided to call it Clean Fuels for All.”
John Cooper was appointed Director General, FuelsEurope and Concawe in April 2015. He started his career in the motor industry working on future powertrains, and after 3 years moved to BP Downstream where he has 27 years of experience. His previous role was as Director, Renewables Strategy Downstream, leading BP’s commercial compliance strategy for renewables regulation. He has also had business leadership roles in aviation fuels and lubricants, transport energy policy, and fuels technology, in the UK and USA, and has represented the UK fuels industry at the UK Automotive Council Technology Group. He holds a BA in Engineering from Cambridge University.

90. Truck Stops Take On Alternative FuelsWhich fuels are truck stops blending and selling and where are they trending in the next 10, 15, and 20 years? And, what are they planning for electrification? NATSO’s Alternative Fuels Council is helping truck stop operators navigate the alternative fuels landscape with information, advice, and compliance.
With Special Guest:Ginger Laidlaw, Vice President, Alternative Fuels Council
“We’ve got a ways to go. As exciting as it is and how many people want to move forward with [alternative fuels], I feel like you know, the messy middle. But it’s also our chance to decarbonize right now. If you can get a hold of those liquid fuels and be able to blend them now, we still should be striving for that and not waiting for the other fuels to come along.”
Ginger Laidlaw, Compliance Specialist, assists members of the truckstop and travel plaza community and other fuel retailers to navigate the complex compliance requirements of state and federal fuel regulations, including the RFS, Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Clean Fuels Program (CFP).

With Special Guest:Marko Janhunen, Director, Public Affairs , UPM
“I think it’s been fantastic to be part of this transformation. UPM, as I said, is a traditional forest industry company. We’ve managed to create a completely new industry business within UPM. Regulation is obviously a key part of this business strategy. We created a product that has extremely interesting and strong environmental sustainability credentials. And, you know, being part of a journey with a team, with colleagues where we’ve actually succeeded very well, that’s exciting. I think obviously also the opportunity of the hydrogen-related, or the hydrogen economy and the assets that we have at UPM, it’s extremely exciting to be engaged in these discussions. It’s a tremendous opportunity. A complex one as well but being able to support and discuss with a lot of different types of people, it’s really multidisciplinary. You need to understand a lot of different aspects. And I guess that means that you’re learning something all the time.”

Scott Sharabura, Parkland’s Vice President, Electric Vehicle Charging, joins us to discuss Parkland’s test-and-learn approach to their EV charging rollout.
With Special Guest:Scott Sharabura, Vice President, Electric Vehicle Charging, Parkland Corporation
“I was very much an oil and gas guy through and through and I think like a lot of people who come from that background, I viewed electric vehicles and zero-emission transportation with a fair bit of skepticism, not because I was opposed to it, but just because there were so many promises that people had made for so long, and there were targets that were set that were pushed out and pushed out again, and pushed out again. It just felt like the idea that was never going to arrive, as they say, the technology of the future. And it will always be the technology of the future and it’s where it started a change for me.”
Scott Sharabura is the Vice President of Electric Vehicle Charging for Parkland Corporation, one of the fastest growing convenience and fuel marketers in the Americas, focusing on developing a new EV charging business under the ON the RUN banner. Prior to his current role, he led Parkland’s strategy team, where he led the development of a 10-year energy transition strategy.

81. The Process and Planning Needed for EV ChargingWhat does the process of planning and designing for EV charging really look like? From financing to permitting, design to accessibility, there’s a lot of nuanced planning that is needed for all sectors looking to install EV chargers in public spaces to retail. We spoke with Jenna McDavid, an Electric Vehicles Practice Director with Kimley-Horn to hear about some of the bits and nuggets of charging.
With Special Guest:Jenna McDavid, Associate, Electric Vehicles Practice Director, Kimley-Horn
“We need to reduce reliance on single-occupant vehicles to reduce congestion, to reduce motor vehicle accidents, to reduce pedestrian collisions. We need to make sure everyone has access to safe, affordable, reliable, clean transportation. We need to design and deploy thousands upon thousands of EV chargers in well lit, accessible spaces with accessible payment systems with high up times. These are huge, huge challenges that require experts from a lot of different disciplines to do their very, very best work very quickly. It’s very important. It’s personally important, and I think it’s globally and societally important.”
Jenna has 22 years of experience in the clean energy and clean transportation industries. She provides strategic advisory support to public agencies and private companies to aid their transitions to zero-emissions vehicles. Her current and recent engagements address regional strategies for transportation decarbonization, design and delivery of programs to support EV adoption, siting optimization for EV charging infrastructure, and fleet electrification support.
