Amplifying the Current Infrastructure for the Imminent EV Transition

Overview
Speaker(s)

Experience Level: Any level of experience

The transition to electric vehicles has been led mostly by relative newcomers to the automobile industry while traditional automakers have been amping up their plans and offerings for new BEV and PHEV vehicles. With many governments revealing plans to "ban" gas-powered automobiles by 2050, 2035, or even 2030, the transition will be happening.

While there are numerous private charging network companies expanding the charging infrastructure for EVs throughout the country, the same governments continue to evaluate how best to support the improvements to infrastructure within their jurisdictions and how best to support private and public entities alike on providing these facilities.

We will look back at trends and attempts over the past 15 years for providing infrastructure to support EV owners as well as evaluating current trends and how these trends support and prepare for extensive adoption of EVs and the transition of the fleet. We will evaluate case studies and discuss applications of Level I, II, and III charging, autonomous charging, battery swapping, and wireless charging. While the end result is to provide charge to an automobile, the solutions and infrastructure supporting the solutions are not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will know the types of charging infrastructure and electrical system demands.
2. Attendees will understand the impact of the transition to EVs on existing infrastructure and customer/user behavior.
3. Attendees will be able to identify opportunities and risks for charging infrastructure implementation.
