GOVERNMENTAL PARTNER

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

UTILITIES

• Learn from real life experience that other utilities in both urban and rural regions have had creating innovative business models for making EV charging regimes profitable in both public places and the home
• Find out about strategies and technologies for managing the impact of EVs on the grid and discover the optimal metering, billing and rate strategies they are developing that will be specific to EVs

SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS

• Understand the emerging business opportunities for smart grid and smart metering technologies as utilities look to use technological innovations to manage the impact of Electric Vehicles on load profiles and help facilitate EV-specific metering and tariff regimes

EV CHARGING STATION & EVSE SUPPLIERS

• Find out how EV charging station and EVSE technologies fit into the business models of utilities for making EV charging regimes profitable and what they will be looking for from potential infrastructure partners and equipment suppliers.

BATTERY MANUFACTURERS

• Discover the impact that charging regimes will have on EV battery systems and the business opportunities for battery manufacturers to be part of grid energy storage and V2G solutions

VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS

• Understand the role of vehicle manufacturers in helping to establish EV charging infrastructure and how they will have to adapt to the plans of the utilities
• Gain an insight into the readiness of grids to support mass market EVs and what can be done by vehicle OEMs to manage the impact of their vehicles on grid systems

THE BUSINESS CASE

For the first time...

...utilities from East Coast, West Coast & Central states, both urban and rural, will be collaborating with multiple stakeholders including Vehicle OEMs, city planners, governments and the EV supply chain to find real solutions for making EV charging infrastructure commercially viable.

Developing public and in-home charging infrastructure to support EVs and ensuring that EVs have the minimum impact on the grid is vital not just for the utilities operating the grids but also every company with a stake in the commercially viable EV industry.

In order to practically move forward on these topics, speakers at EV Charging Infrastructure USA, will be providing commercial solutions on the following topics:

BUSINESS MODELS: Providing innovative business models from utilities, vehicle OEMs, city planners and governments for ownership of and investment in public and private EV charging infrastructure

IMPACT ON THE GRID: Determining what impact mass penetration of Electric Vehicles will have on grid systems and load profiles

INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE: Understanding what upgrades will have to be made to upgrade transmission, distribution and communication systems to meet the demands of Electric Vehicles

IN-HOME CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE: Analyzing how Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure can be integrated into the smart home and developing metering and billing strategies specific to private charging

METERING AND TARIFFING: Determining optimal billing, metering and rate structure strategies for incentivizing electric vehicle users to charge at certain times of day

REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS: Understanding federal and municipal government strategies for incentivizing and funding the development of EV Charging infrastructure

TECHNOLOGY FOCUS: Evaluating the most cost-effective charging station, EVSE and communication technologies for integrating Electric Vehicles into the grid
