3 questions to Guillaume Lesueur, EDF Pulse Ventures Director

EVs are becoming more and more a part of our daily lives, but where do we stand on the charging infrastructure and its innovations?

Among the most cited obstacles to the mass adoption of electric vehicles, the fear of running out of battery power is often at the top. The various recharging solutions are not well known by the general public. 

However, many players are innovating in this segment, putting the user experience at the heart of their solution. Whether it's for mopeds or cars, easy and quick access to recharging is key. 

The incumbent utilities players are adapting to offer the right solution at the right time. They are facing a new competition: new entrants, whether startups or historical mobility players.

Since the question of recharging is fundamental for the development of the electric vehicle, the Mobility Talks offers a series dedicated to the EV charging landscape.

You will learn all about the innovations in this field, the possible collaborations between corporates and startups, but also the major differences in the world on the subject.

This week, we welcome Guillaume Lesueur, EDF Pulse Ventures Director:

• As a CVC, what kind of synergies have you developed with EV charging startups?
• What are the main innovations you've identified, and the ones you're looking for?
• Beyond charging, what are the key services needed to favour EV adoption?

What is the Mobility Club?

In order to strengthen its network of partners and to promote collective intelligence around the new mobilities and the smart city, Via ID has initiated the creation of the Mobility Club. This private circle is dedicated to large companies wishing to better understand the changes in the sector and to develop closer links with startups.
