The evolution toward electrified transportation poses a unique and defining challenge for today’s capacity constrained utility electric grid. Larger charging depots for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, new federal and state funding for corridor charging, and the emergence of remote charging locations will trigger infrastructure upgrades that result in significant delays and costs. Co-locating and optimizing electric vehicle (EV) charging with other distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar power and energy storage can reduce energy costs, accelerate the transition to EVs, and integrate more clean energy onto the grid.
How should states, utilities, and EV charging site hosts leverage solar and stationary energy storage to support clean energy and transportation goals? What are the underlying policy and market barriers to deploying coordinated and integrated multi-DER sites at scale, and what are the opportunities to overcome them? Learn more about how storage- and solar-integrated EV charging can serve as key levers in the transition to a clean energy grid.
This webinar will:
Detail implications of solar and energy storage technologies for EV and EV-charging industries
Review recent policy developments around the country
Identify lessons learned for states and utilities seeking to coordinate solar and energy storage initiatives with their EV investment plans
Explore opportunities and next steps for advancing the market for integrated, multi-DER EV charging sites
