We welcome you to the Making V2G a reality from technology to market success Webinar.
Let us introduce you to our speakers:
André Duarte
SWITCH CTO
André holds a MSc. in Electrical and Computers Engineering yielded by the Technical University of Lisbon. Since he has finished his academic studies in 2014, he has dedicated his career to e-mobility, by working for Siemens Mobility, developing High Power Charging stations, The Mobility House where he helped build an intelligent backend system for EV charging and now Switch EV, where André is now the CTO and helps the company to achieve its vision to solve the interoperability problem of the industry.
Beyond his professional roles, André champions Open Source solutions and is an active member of pioneering standardization committees, shaping the future of e-mobility. He is deeply vested in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) discussions and leads an ISO 15118-20 task force, aiming to integrate Distributed Energy Resource (DER) capabilities into the international standard.
Dennis Schulmeyer
LADE GMBH Founder & CEO
Dennis Schulmeyer is a trained electrician and IT entrepreneur. Ever since he electrified his skateboard as a kid, he’s been driving meaningful application and forward-looking development of technology, spanning areas like smart living, corporate infrastructure, education, and many more.
In 2012 he installed his hometown‘s first public charging point for electric cars at his private house in Mainz. Eight years later, he founded LADE to realize and implement the ideas he had developed since then, which is to utilise EV batteries for optimised renewable energy consumption. This includes technologies like the first AI-based energy and charging management as well as development and research of bidirectional solutions.
Today, the company offers an all-in-one system for energy management and EV charging. Enabling easy installation, operation, and use, the system couples renewable energy production and e-mobility to benefit both. With its AI-based Green Charging, LADE is the first provider introducing time as a dimension of automated energy and charging management, which can be applied to bidirectional charging as well. Leveraging this factor at scale, the system allows for cheaper, carbon-free mobility while simultaneously advancing efficiency of green energy production.
