    Upgrading the World’s Energy Infrastructure with Sourceful Energy | Fredrik Ahlgren

    Follow Proof of Coverage Media: https://x.com/Proof_Coverage Since recording this episode, Sourceful Energy has doubled down on what really matters: unlocking the greatest asset people already own—the battery in their car. With tens of millions of EVs on the road, each carrying enough energy to power a home for a week, this is the ultimate DePIN. Our focus is clear: Zap + V2G. Zap is our unifying hardware, the plug that turns every EV, home battery, and solar system into a sovereign energy node. Homeowners keep control, decide when and how to participate, and get rewarded for providing real flexibility. We're building this on Solana, because speed and scale matter. Millisecond response, real coordination of physical assets, and crypto-native growth. What’s in it for you? Lower costs, real ownership of your energy, and the chance to turn your EV into a money-making, grid-stabilizing asset. Zap + V2G + Solana = the rails of the world’s largest Virtual Power Plant.
