            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As EV charging networks mature, simply installing chargers is no longer enough. The next challenge for Charge Point Operators is delivering reliable charging experiences while optimizing energy costs, site performance, and profitability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this interview recorded at INTERFACE Nordics in Copenhagen, Daniel Bogdanoski, Product Manager at OKQ8, shares how battery storage and intelligent energy management are becoming critical enablers for the next phase of electrification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key topics include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why customer experience remains the top priority for charging operators&lt;br&gt;• How batteries can support charging performance beyond grid constraints&lt;br&gt;• Scaling EV charging networks after initial deployment success&lt;br&gt;• The transition from charging sites to integrated energy hubs&lt;br&gt;• New business models enabled by flexibility markets and battery storage&lt;br&gt;• Heavy-duty transport electrification and operational reliability&lt;br&gt;• The need for stronger software integration across the EV ecosystem&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daniel explains that future charging locations will increasingly operate as energy hubs, combining chargers, battery storage, energy optimization, and flexibility services into a single integrated solution. As utilization grows, operators will need intelligent software platforms that balance charging performance, energy costs, uptime, and customer satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also highlights the growing importance of collaboration across charging operators, fleet managers, software providers, and energy stakeholders to create scalable solutions for the next generation of EV charging infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch more interviews from INTERFACE Nordics and discover how FLEXECHARGE helps CPOs optimize charging infrastructure, integrate battery storage, and unlock flexibility revenues through HARMON-E.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn more about FLEXECHARGE: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.flexecharge.com"&gt;https://www.flexecharge.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/how-okq8-uses-batteries-to-improve"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968555/128458894/4c22d8a524154c78faf17046f9ce896f/standard/download-17-thumbnail.jpg" width="480" height="480"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this highlight from Episode 51 of the FLEXECHARGE Podcast, recorded at INTERFACE Nordics in Copenhagen, Daniel Bogdanoski shares why Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are rapidly becoming a necessity for Charge Point Operators (CPOs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As EV charging networks mature, the focus is shifting from deployment to optimization. Daniel explains how batteries, smart energy management, and flexibility services can help operators maintain high charging performance, improve customer experience, and unlock new business opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conversation explores how CPOs are evolving from simply operating charging stations to managing energy hubs. With growing charging demand, grid constraints, and the rise of heavy-duty vehicle electrification, optimization is becoming a key factor for future success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key topics:&lt;br&gt;• Why BESS is becoming a necessity for EV charging sites&lt;br&gt;• How batteries help guarantee charging performance&lt;br&gt;• The transition from charging stations to energy hubs&lt;br&gt;• Flexibility services and new revenue opportunities&lt;br&gt;• The role of collaboration in scaling heavy-duty EV charging&lt;br&gt;• The future of energy optimization in the Nordic EV market&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch the full Episode 51 to hear perspectives from across the EV charging ecosystem on batteries, flexibility, grid constraints, and the next phase of charging infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Explore FLEXECHARGE solutions:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.flexecharge.com"&gt;https://www.flexecharge.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/why-ev-charging-networks-need"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968575/128052138/8b527cb35a3933bd646c0396b0286b32/standard/download-11-thumbnail.jpg" width="480" height="480"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
