The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) will host a webinar on resilience and futureproofing considerations for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
This webinar will cover topics such as maintaining performance, reliability, and accessibility of EV charging stations during power outages and extreme weather events, maximizing the usefulness of charging stations near evacuation routes during emergencies, protecting charging infrastructure from extreme weather, and creating space for future expansion and power upgrades.
Speakers will discuss considerations for building resilience into site analysis and deployment, including optimal siting along key evacuation corridors, key steps for coordinating and installing EV charging for resilience, incorporating on-site power generation and energy storage capacity, and integrating mobile energy storage systems.
Participants will leave the webinar with an understanding of how to incorporate solutions that build resilience and account for futureproofing in site planning and design.
