This episode is packed with insights into the challenges and opportunities within the EV charging sector, offering a compelling perspective for anyone invested in the future of sustainable mobility.

Speakers

Matt Tymowski // CEO – ChargeEuropa

Before co-founding ChargeEuropa, Matt Tymowski specialized in energy storage systems integration, working with both front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the- meter (BTM) applications. He collaborated closely with independent power producers (IPPs) in emerging markets, helping them implement smarter energy storage solutions. Through his work with charging point operators (CPOs) on various projects, Matt quickly recognized that low utilization rates were a significant challenge to scaling EV charging networks. This insight led him to focus on building a charging network that could remain profitable regardless of utilization rates. With support from several notable impact funds, including Shift4Good, MobilityFund, and Simpact Ventures, Matt and his team are pioneering one of the first profitable, urban- focused EV charging networks in Poland.
