The Next Leap for Electric Vehicles with Will Graylin, Indigo Technologies - Part 1 The Future Car: A Siemens Podcast
-
- Technology
Electric vehicles are the future but we are still miles away from mass adoption.
One of the biggest constraints facing the EV market is the cost of acquisition. The best ones are just too expensive. No wonder a significant percentage of the population views them as luxury vehicles!
Most investments in the field of EVs have been directed towards increasing both the battery capacity and charging speed. However, the game-changing innovation in this industry will have to address the two main challenges: cost and single-charge distance. Whoever manages to kill these two birds with one stone will be well on their way to considerable industry disruption.
In this episode, the first part out of two, Ed Bernardon interviews Will Graylin, a seasoned innovator who is the CEO of both an electric vehicles company Indigo, and a digital wallet company OV Loop. He’ll help understand the state of the EV industry and the impact they expect to make with the two companies. He’ll also share his entrepreneurial journey with us and the lessons learned along the way.
Some Questions I Ask:
Why do we need a class of vehicles that's so much smaller than the typical ones? (06:13)
What makes you believe that Indigo is going to be successful? (12:56)
How has being an immigrant impacted you in your career so far? (17:17)
What drove you to join the Navy and get on a submarine? (21:05)
What are the synergies between a car company and a digital wallet company? (38:10)
What You’ll Learn in this Episode:
What goes into making a lightweight vehicle become stable (03:09)
The technology and innovations that makes Indigo cars affordable (09:30)
The difference between innovations and inventions (24:49)
The path from invention to innovation (25:41)
How the mobile wallet idea that was later acquired by Samsung came about (30:12)
