Ep25 EV charging – one of the keys to Asia’s decarbonisation path, ft Vincent Yip

 The Asian and global electric vehicle market is massive and growing fast. One of the many forecasts put the value of the sector to rise six-fold, to almost $1,110 billion by 2030 from about $180 million in 2021. Key to the growth of EVs, and thus to decarbonisation and the energy transition, is the charging and the companies that operate the charging infrastructure. Our guest is Vincent Yip, the Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone Technologies Holdings Limited. The listed company specialises in the supply and installation of EV chargers, infrastructure, and central management systems. Vincent first examines EV charging in general.  We then look at the actual business and the charging point operators’ business models, including financing issues. Finally, we chat about Vincent’s company specifically as a case study.
