Episode Notes

On this episode recorded on the 7th May 2020 I spoke to Natalia Peralta Silverstone from Octopus Electric Vehicles.  

Natalia is passionate about the transition to a zero-carbon world.  

She focuses on partnerships and business strategy at Octopus Electric Vehicles, which is part of the Octopus Energy group. They are helping drivers and businesses transition to electric transport by offering bundled solutions, including vehicle leasing, charging infrastructure and green energy tariffs.  

Natalia has spent her career in the startup world, with the last 5 years spent in the electric vehicle industry. Previous to Octopus, she helped position and grow Pod Point, now one of the leading EV charging manufacturers and network operators in the UK.  

Natalia was introduced to me through a friend in the climate community in London. I'm really glad we connected. She knows a lot about the EV market and specifically about real-world engineering and societal challenges to rolling our electric vehicles at scale.  

It's refreshing and empowering to speak to people that are just getting on with the job of fixing the world.
