Every parked car in Europe is a virtual power plant. We don't need more copper wires — we need software that knows when to wake them up. The grid is starving for flexibility; we just haven't written the dispatch code yet.

About
Former Deloitte auditor. Now building the software that makes going electric cheaper than staying on fossil fuel.
peter.jpg
Electric vehicles are already cheaper to run than diesel. Most fleet operators just don't know it yet. I build the software that proves it — and the infrastructure that makes it true.
From Deloitte audit rooms to EU fleet depots. From energy spreadsheets to grid and energy trading. I spent years watching incumbents overbuild copper wires when the answer was software. So I started writing it.

The Mission
Make going electric the cheapest, smartest, obvious choice. No subsidies required.
// pillar_01
Accessibility
Fleet electrification should cost less than diesel from day one. No subsidies, no wishful thinking — just better math delivered through software.
// pillar_02
Conviction
From Deloitte audit rooms to energy trading floors. Every step taught me the same lesson: incumbents overbuild hardware because they can't imagine writing the code that replaces it.
// pillar_03
Velocity
Ship fast, learn faster. The energy transition does not wait — and neither do the teams I build.

Expertise
Where fleet economics meets grid physics. Where software replaces copper.
[01] fin_ops
Lowering EV TCO
Voltia delivers 40% TCO reduction for commercial fleets. Route-level analysis, charging optimization, lease restructuring. The math works before the subsidy.
[02] product
Grid Intelligence
Real-time energy data turned into action. Wattiva reads grid signals and shifts EV charging to the cheapest windows. Drivers save money; the grid gets flexibility.
[03] industry
Sustainable Mobility
Platform approach to electrification. When one fleet goes electric, the charging infrastructure, the grid signals, and the operational playbook benefit the next ten.

EV × Energy Markets
Every parked EV is a battery the grid can dispatch. Wattiva aggregates thousands into a virtual power plant and trades that flexibility into energy markets. Code, not copper.

Let's Connect
If you run a fleet, manage grid flexibility, or invest in energy software — we should talk.
I write about how software replaces physical grid infrastructure. The first essay makes a concrete claim: Europe's €600bn grid upgrade spend is 40% unnecessary if we orchestrate flexibility right.
No noise. No tracking pixels. No product pitches. Just the thesis when it's ready.
