Game Changers & Transition Makers: Creating more flexible, affordable transport for cities

In this episode, Kyle Bolto takes Ashurst’s Elena Lambros on a journey through the past, present, and future of city transport. It's a tale of inspiration and perspiration that leads towards Kyle's "audacious vision" of flexible, affordable, greener transport options for those who live and work in built-up cities. As CEO and founder of Ohmie GO, Kyle provides e-mobility solutions to get large commercial and residential buildings ready for electric vehicles. In our podcast, he recalls a flash of inspiration on a late-night flight ("I was the madman, wide awake, scribbling away on my iPad") which sparked a test run of shared electric vehicles in 2018, followed by a period of further experimentation and exponential business growth. "We're a pretty unique beast," Kyle says, referring to Ohmie GO's commitment to design and build everything in-house. "There are pros and cons that come with that but, largely, it's hugely to our benefit and our customers are starting to feel that. We curate, quarantine, and manage that user journey from end to end." Kyle also talks about his approach to "seeing the world differently" and explains his belief that "car ownership is probably not sustainable in a really big, growing city." He also maps out an alternative: a suite of flexible, affordable modes of transport to suit people's unique needs and circumstances.
