More Than Just Cars and Charging Points
Stephen and Liz cover a lot of ground in this episode - but the throughline is clear: electrification isn’t just a technology shift, it’s a people and mindset shift too.
From OEMs and gigafactories to AI, automation, and agile scaling, Stephen shares his insights on how the world of future mobility is evolving - and what this means for the businesses trying to keep pace.
“We’re no longer just talking about car companies. We’re talking about battery ecosystems, software stacks, autonomous tech, charging networks—and the talent challenges that sit across all of them.”
Key Themes from the Episode
🔋 The human side of the EV transition
Why the real bottleneck isn’t hardware - it’s hiring, culture, and leadership at scale.
🧠 AI, automation, and adaptation
What emerging technologies mean for jobs, and how to futureproof your team.
🚀 Startups, scaleups, and the war for talent
Lessons from working with VC- and PE-backed disruptors - and what established players can learn from them.
🌍 Diversity, equity, and inclusion in clean mobility
A crucial and evolving conversation - one we’re proud to support through our partnerships and internal practices.
Future Mobility Is Here—But It’s Still in Motion
As Stephen puts it, “We’re at the intersection of innovation and implementation. The next few years will define not just which technologies win, but which teams are best equipped to deliver them.”
At Hyperion Search, we’re helping build those teams - from early-stage innovators to global OEMs and infrastructure leaders. If you’re scaling in the EV, battery, or broader e-mobility space, we’d love to help you navigate the talent and leadership challenges ahead.
