Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Battery-Equipped Induction: A New Path to Clean Home Electrification
Q: What's the story behind Copper's founding and the night you and your co-founder got inspired?
The founding story centers on recognizing that the incentive landscape for residential electrification was necessary but not sufficient; the real hurdle was the bespoke and expensive wiring and installation. By focusing on an appliance-centric, battery-supported approach, Copper could deliver a scalable, installable retrofit that bypasses heavy electrical renovations and leverages existing outlets and installer networks.
Battery-Equipped Induction: A New Path to Clean Home Electrification
Q: What drew you specifically to induction?
We saw four drivers—the efficiency and safety of induction, the potential for better space utilization in kitchens, the desire to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and most importantly, the opportunity to pair induction with batteries to address the high upfront electrical upgrade costs by enabling a simple plug-in appliance swap.
Common Charge and Advancing Distributed Energy
Q: Could you tell us more about who the members are of Common Charge?
Common Charge is a mix of businesses and nonprofits representing distributed assets, including companies like Sunrun and organizations like the American Council for Energy Efficient Economy.
Electrification Beyond the Road: The Taiga Story
Q: Did it play out for you the way you hoped that the really challenging technological advancement that the Nomad required translated more easily into the Orca?
Yes, the early iterations of the Nomad helped inform the production of the Orca, sharing parts and technology.
Electrification Beyond the Road: The Taiga Story
Q: Tell me about the journey of the creation of the Nomad and its history and sales and user experience and all that stuff.
The Nomad was chosen as the first product because it posed a significant challenge with high power-to-weight ratios and extreme operating conditions.
