Based in Netherland, Roland operates a boutique EV consultancy. Today he shares the many policy intents behind e-mobility strategies for infrastructure development all around the world. Please join us today to find out why counties must start a staged approach to develop a new EV industry, opportunities a new EV industry will create, and why new Giga factories are essential—Central Asia definitely needs one such Giga factory. There is no going back, EVs are going to stay and grow. Roland explains why the introduction of electric buses by city governments makes more sense right now. He explains the Charge Point Operator or CPO, and the charge point manufacturing—a new business, which is the backbone platform managing the charging ecosystem. We discuss concession structures and "regulation by contract" and options for charging infrastructure—we contradicted on some points, especially should charging be a regulated monopoly or a competitive business. We discussed leasing fees and residual value maintenance of EVs and more.   Connect with Sohail Hasnie: Facebook @sohailhasnie Twitter @shasnie LinkedIn @shasnie ADB Blog Sohail Hasnie
