Episode 155: Liz Allan and Euan Macleod - The Future of Destination Charging: Simplicity, Trust and Growth.
Liz Allan speaks to Euan Macleod, Head of Commercial at VOQA, about how effortless EV charging can reshape the driver experience.
Euan explains why simplicity in payment and usability is key to building trust with drivers and businesses alike, and why VOQA is focusing on destination charging as a critical part of the EV transition. They explore his mystery shopper experiences testing public chargers, the importance of contactless payments, and how businesses like hotels and workplaces can use charging as a value-added service.
Quote of the episode:
"If I can walk into a coffee shop and buy a cup of coffee with a credit card, why can’t I simply turn up at an EV charging station, tap my card, plug in, and get on with my day?" — Euan Macleod.
