Panel discussion and joint: What about the drivers? Predicting and embedding consumer charging behaviour

Shayne is Head of Marketing at char.gy, a provider of public electric vehicle charging to communities of drivers who can’t use their home electricity supply to charge their cars.
Most of his career focused on marketing EDF’s range of low-carbon energy solutions to businesses and the public sector. He draws on this experience to help char.gy play a big part in the electrification of transport and its crucial role in delivering the UK’s Net Zero 2050 goal.

Prior to joining char.gy, Shayne led the UK sales and marketing team at ubitricity and helped the company grow into the UK’s largest public charging networks by number of charge points.

Joel Teague is the founder of Co Charger, a company dedicated to enabling EV ownership for motorists who cannot have a charge point at home.  Having defined the concept of Community Charging in 2020 he launched the first platform built specifically to support the practice of sharing charge points within neighbourhoods.  Eight months on, the platform supports over 1,500 shared charge points and is has grown at over 40% per month so far in 2021.

Joel is a leading commentator on the acceleration of the transition to EVs and an advocate of both industry collaboration and the sharing economy in that process.  He is an elected member of the steering group for the Renewable Energy Association’s EV Forum.

Before founding Co Charger, Joel was a contract programme manager and Agile management specialist working on major initiatives within the automotive, scientific, aviation and marketing sectors.
