In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Johan du Plessis, CEO and founder of Tepeo, to explore how his company is transforming zero-carbon home heating. Tepeo's Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB) is a smart, efficient, and affordable alternative to a heat pump, designed to seamlessly replace a traditional gas boiler without the need for costly home upgrades.
The technology itself makes perfect sense, but building a climate tech business—let alone scaling one—is anything but simple. Johan delves into the key challenges and what’s needed to accelerate the adoption of electric heating, from tax incentives for heat batteries to making electricity more affordable. He also highlights the crucial role of energy storage in balancing the grid and unlocking a truly sustainable energy system.
As the world moves toward full electrification, Johan shares his vision for the future of home heating and explains why innovation in this space is critical for a cleaner, greener planet. @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the fully charged show podcast, where today we're catching up with Johann DePlessy, who is the founder and CEO of a company called Tepeyo. |
0:13.5 | Now Tepeo had pioneered something called the Zeb, the zero-mission boiler, which is a very handy alternative to a heat pump. |
0:20.0 | But in this episode, we're not going to go in tremendous detail about the product itself. |
0:23.5 | If you are curious about the product, then do make sure to check out the description box below for links to their website. |

0:58.4 | And some of the conversations that Johan has had to have around the challenges of pricing electricity, the impact that that has on gas, |
1:05.5 | and how that can help accelerate the uptake of these zero carbon electrification technologies. |
1:12.8 | It is truly fascinating. It is truly helpful to really understand just what it takes to succeed in this market. And there's |
1:16.9 | some good nuggets of advice for any potential founders out there as well. So before we get |
1:22.8 | into that, a very, very quick advert break. |
