Developing an EV Charging Station: A Technical and Regulatory Overview
EV charging stations have been fairly straight forward to deploy up to this point. Typically, they’ve involved four to six level two chargers or a couple of level three chargers at a single location. This design is changing rapidly putting more emphasis on the power required from the grid for the evolving use cases within EV charging. This presentation will cover federal and state policies influencing the change and the rate of change, the technical aspects of the station and interaction with the grid, solutions to resolve, and challenges facing the industry in the short and long term. Participants will leave with a better understanding of future station design, relationship and importance of public policy with practical implementation, and factors that need to be addressed that put EV adoption at risk of meeting stated federal and state goals.
