Jonas Schlund is the Chief Product Officer and Founding Member of Ampcontrol, an AI-powered software company that helps commercial sites and fleets to electrify. He leads product strategy, solutions, go-to-market, and partnerships, driving Ampcontrol's evolution into a unified platform for EV charging management, energy management, and fleet intelligence. Schlund is a passionate EV and energy expert with a doctorate in computer science (Dr.-Ing.). He is an active voice in the EV space, sharing perspectives on smart charging, utility interoperability, and the future of fleet electrification.

EV chargers, batteries, and solar inverters speak three different languages — OCPP, Modbus, and MQTT. Before you can manage them as one system, you need something on-site that translates between all three. That's what Part 2 of our fleet depot energy series covers: the protocols, the physical connectivity, and what a real integrated depot actually looks like in practice.

Getting a grid connection for a new charging depot used to be a formality. Today it's a multi-year barrier. Five countries are solving this differently — and what they've learned changes how fleet operators should think about infrastructure investment.
