The World’s Biggest Battery: An OEM, a Utility and a VPP Walk Into a Room | Hosted by Gridio
Who gets the value—and who gets left behind?
By 2032, the European EV fleet will represent 50% of total EU peak electricity demand—the world’s biggest distributed battery is already being built, one EV at a time. The question isn’t whether this flexibility will be valuable. It’s who captures that value: the car companies sitting on the data, the utilities who need the load, or the aggregators wiring it all together.
Hosted by Gridio, this is a candid conversation between the three sides of the table: Nicolas Milerioux (Encevo CVC) on the utility investment side, Ted Li (Kia Connect) on the OEM side, Zygmunt Strawczynski (EnergyHub) on the aggregator side and Konrad Hanschmidt (CEO, Gridio). Moderated by Felix Krause (Vireo VC).
Agenda Highlights:
Welcome & Scene-Setting: Why the OEM–utility interface is the bottleneck of the energy transition.
Gridio: The Integration Layer: Connecting 30+ OEM brands to utilities across Europe.
Panel Discussion: Who valorizes the electron? OEMs, utilities, or aggregators.
Audience Q&A: Open-floor discussion.
Networking & Drinks: Informal networking over drinks and tapas, with time to connect with the Gridio team and fellow participants.
