Episode 97: Liz Allan and Toby Hiles - Electrifying Kerbside Management with Smart Solutions.

Liz Allan speaks to Toby Hiles, Strategic Partnerships Director at Grider Smarter Cities. They discuss the need for more EV chargers to support large fleets making deliveries in bustling urban areas and how data plays a crucial role in making informed business decisions. They also discuss how integrated solutions and digital signage can help with EV charging at peak times. The "Kerb" product that Grid Smarter Cities has is like Airbnb for kerbside space and how it efficiently manages parking and deliveries. Plus, they discuss the concept of virtual loading bays, and how these initiatives promote better air quality and enhance the overall experience for EV users.
