The Driven Podcast: Tritium’s James Kennedy on the rapid transition to EV charging

Published by

Tritium co-founder and chief technology officer James Kennedy joins The Driven podcast to outline how a small group of solar car enthusiasts founded a Brisbane-based company that is now a world leading in electric vehicle fast charging stations.

In this interview, Kennedy explains how Tritium has beaten many of the world’s biggest electronic companies to this huge market, and predicts a huge uptake in EVs as the costs come down.

Tritium has focused on fast-charging stations that he says could unlock the interest in EVs for people living in the inner city, and how vehicle to grid technologies could change the way we think about the grid and powering our home.
