S3E13 – Melanie Shufflebotham – Mapping the EV Charging Landscape

About the episode:

Melanie Shufflebotham, co-founder and COO of Zapmap, the UK’s leading app for electric vehicle (EV) drivers to locate charging stations and plan trips, shares Zapmap’s journey from a basic Google Map overlay in 2014 to a robust platform with live data, user reviews, and payment options. Zapmap also supports businesses and local authorities with insights into EV charging trends to prepare for a sustainable, electrified future.

NOTE: This episode was recorded on 14 December 2024. For operational reasons, it was not possible to release it earlier. In the original, Melanie and I discussed potential changes to the ZEV mandate which, at the time, were still out for consultation. Since recording, there have been clarifications. You can hear about these in the previous episode with Vicky Edmonds from EVA England.
