<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This week, Paul and Sara sit down with Becky Lalanne, Managing Director of Voqa, a new entrant in the UK EV charging market. Becky shares how Voqa is tackling the challenge of destination charging, introducing a 7–22kW AC charger with built-in contactless payments, designed to make charging effortless for drivers and more commercially viable for venues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The conversation covers:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The frustrations of current destination charging and how Voqa addresses them&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why tethered AC chargers and tap-to-pay improve the driver experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Voqa's approach to designing its own hardware for reliability and ease of maintenance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The revenue-share model and business case for hotels, co-working spaces, and leisure venues&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insights into Becky's career journey from Red Bull cliff diving events to EV innovation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They also discuss future-proofing the UK charging network, the role of installers, and why putting the driver at the heart of design is key to accelerating electrification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Becky Lalanne (LinkedIn)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-lalanne/"&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-lalanne/&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voqa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.voqa.com/"&gt;https://www.voqa.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
