Electrifying America: EV Load, Smart Grids, and The VPP Future | with Mats Larsson (GET Institute)

America’s energy story is mid-pivot. Incentives shifted, EVs are scaling, and the grid is creaking like it’s still 1947. In this episode, Emmitt chops it up with Mats Larsson of the Global Energy Transformation Institute about what full electrification really takes: winter EV range hits, smart-grid load control, VPPs (virtual power plants), and why planning this transition like Apollo—not vibes—is the move.
Highlights
- Why the U.S. is already “highly electrified” (just… differently than Europe)
- EVs vs. the grid: load peaks, smart charging, and seasonality
- Solar + storage + VPPs as the anti-peaker, pro-resilience stack
- Jobs shift: from crankshafts to chips, software, and charging ops
- The hard truth: grids must be digitized, coordinated, and funded
