Earning from markets like aFRR takes more than a smart charger: metering, an optimisation strategy and a plan for the driver's next trip. Prof. Cédric De Cauwer of VUB's MOBI centre unpacks each one. In the full episode, he names the sites where it's easiest, like airport parking and depots.

Beyond this clip, Episode 59 covers Cédric's research on using reinforcement learning to schedule EV charging against Belgium's 15-minute imbalance prices. He also previews a new three-year project with Ghent University on coordinating tens of thousands of EVs for grid balancing and congestion management, including how to keep TSO and DSO needs from clashing.

Watch the full conversation for the complete answer, from data requirements to the best use cases.
