Show Notes
This week on Everybody in the Pool, another sexy gadget that doubles as a grid asset! We take a field trip to the Berkeley headquarters of Copper, which is reimagining the humble stove as a powerful tool for decarbonization. Their flagship product, Charlie, is a 30-inch induction range with a built-in battery that allows for plug-and-play installation, precise cooking, and the potential to support grid stability.
We talk about:
- How a battery in a stove can reduce the need for electrical infrastructure upgrades
- The magic of induction cooking - safety, precision, and efficiency
- Incentive programs making electrification more accessible
- The potential for appliances to become grid interactive assets
- Copper’s vision for scaling electrification across housing
- Bonus: their in-house chef loves it, too.
