Ep. 14: Andreas Jahn of RAP – How Regulation Shapes the Future of Smart Charging & Flexibility

In this episode of Smart Charge, we sit down with Andreas Jahn,
Senior Associate at the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), to
unpack how regulatory frameworks impact the energy transition.


From grid fee structures and market liberalization to the
roadblocks facing bidirectional charging, Andreas explains how
flexibility and cost-efficiency are often dictated by policy. We
discuss key differences between the UK, US, and EU, the evolving
role of fleets as flexible energy assets, and why regulatory
harmonization is crucial for scaling smart charging worldwide.


Whether you’re an energy professional or a curious prosumer, this
episode offers insights on why rules matter—and how you can shape
them.
