Episode 20 - Fleet Charging at Scale: Solving the Depot Power Puzzle
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!
