EV Charging Infrastructure

EV Charging Infrastructure

August 29-30, 2023 | Online :: Central Time

“Course can provide helpful and useful information, updated to the moment we live in electric mobility.” Research, Instituto de Tecnologia para o Desenvolvimento

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is being rapidly deployed as electrification goals are mandated. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) includes up to $7.5 billion through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI) and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program. Major stakeholders are beginning to collaborate as evidenced by the recent Tesla/Ford partnership (https://rb.gy/kcx78). While technology is evolving and funding is available, infrastructure development has remained challenging.

This specialized symposium is designed to provide expert insight on the EV charging infrastructure development market, providing holistic coverage of the financial, technical, and regulatory issues involved in planning for new charging infrastructure buildouts.  It will address these due diligence topics:

  • Site evaluation
  • Customer charging behavior
  • Technical installation
  • Resiliency planning

Register now to hear from utilities, charging infrastructure providers, and top EV experts on the latest technological advancements and best practices for EV charging infrastructure deployment and project management.

Learning Outcomes

  • Review federal initiatives to expand EV charging networks nationwide
  • Assess the EV market and charging infrastructure development landscape and current build-out trends
  • Discuss the impacts of EV charging on the electric grid and energy management solutions
  • Assess utility programming, including:

  • Evaluate an extensive research study and modeling exercise to understand how utility rate tariffs – and demand charges in particular – impact the economic feasibility of direct-current fast chargers (DCFCs)
  • Review charging infrastructure hardware & software
  • Discuss public fast-charging infrastructure deployment
  • Evaluate the latest technologies such as wireless charging and V2G applications
  • Detail how to evaluate service providers & identify their core use case
  • Discuss the challenges of implementing load management for fleets
  • Explore best practices for business development & project management

12:00 – 1:00 p.m. :: Lunch Break

1:00 – 2:00 p.m. :: Case Study: Utility Rates, Demand Charges, and Mitigation Strategies in Support of EV Adoption & EV Charging Infrastructure

As EVs continue to proliferate, it’s important to consider cost control both on the grid and customer side of the meter. For both businesses and private individuals, the incremental cost savings of electricity vs. gasoline plays a major role in the decision to electrify fleets and personal vehicles. And for companies deploying and managing public charging stations, the cost of electricity can make or break their business model. 

In this session, attendees will get a summary of an extensive research study and modeling exercise to understand how utility rate tariffs – and demand charges in particular – impact the economic feasibility of direct-current fast chargers (DCFCs). The study investigated various strategies for mitigating high demand charges, including co-located battery storage and solar generation. In this session, we will discuss how rates impact DCFC viability and future station planning and which mitigation strategies make the most sense under site-specific conditions.
