Hosted by Chris Kirby, CEO of Tomorrow’s Journey, and Felix Page, news editor at Autocar, each episode explores how some of the UK’s most agile and disruptive companies are dramatically reshaping the automotive landscape, with unprecedented access to the executives and thought leaders driving that change.

In this episode we sit down with Sara Sloman, chief strategy officer at Paythru, to discuss how overly complicated payment processes for public EV charging have given rise to "payment anxiety".

We also ask: Will vehicle-to-infrastructure technology improve the public charging experience? Are the needs of fleet drivers being met by the public charging network? How can charge point providers foster customer loyalty?

​To hear all this and more, listen to episode 13 below.
