With experience spanning infrastructure investment, turnkey delivery, CPO growth and now manufacturing, Tom brings a rare cross-sector perspective to the challenges and opportunities shaping the market.Together, Liz and Tom explore the complexity behind EV charging hardware, the importance of direct relationships, and why reliability is about far more than the unit itself. They discuss the moving parts behind charger performance, from firmware and payment terminals to service partnerships and customer support, and why the human touch still matters in an increasingly digital world.They also discuss how the UK market is maturing, what can be learnt from Europe, and why the future of EV charging will depend on stronger collaboration between manufacturers, CPOs, service providers and software partners. Quote of the Episode:“We don’t just want to be seen as someone that sells charging hardware. We want to be a renewables technology partner.” Tom DaviesTom Davies Bio:Tom Davies is the UK Sales and Marketing Director at Circontrol.
