Sharing thoughts about reimagining energy and a sustainable future

Taking a Driving Down to Electric Avenue

In this episode, Maria McGowan dives into the electrifying world of Electric Avenue through an in-depth conversation with Mark MacDonald. Electric Avenue, according to Mark, was conceptualized out of a genuine need to provide innovative Electric Vehicle (EV) charging solutions to an increasingly eco-conscious customer base. This need ignited the development of an all-encompassing product and software suite specifically engineered for electric vehicles, setting the company on its electrified path.

The ABCs of charging

Mark emphasizes a seemingly simple yet ground-breaking concept of “Always Be Charging,” advocating for habitual topping-up of EV batteries instead of running them dry. The success of this philosophy relies heavily on the availability of supporting infrastructure, prompting a necessary shift in consumer habits and energy consumption practices.

The implementation of efficient charging infrastructure, especially in multi-unit buildings, is fraught with challenges. Mark debunks widespread myths and misconceptions linked to cost recovery and grid support for such infrastructural changes. He underlines the criticality of smart charging solutions and load balancing in optimizing energy usage within these settings.
