Grid and Technology Readiness and Challenges for Accommodating High-Power EV Charging

Description

Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and technologies are critical in accelerating EV adoption rates. A key barrier to the rapid adoption of EVs for personal and commercial use is access to reliable and fast charging. Today, it takes 2–3 minutes to fill an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle's fuel tank. Whereas, for an EV, depending on the type of charger and the battery capacity of the car, it can take hours to fully charge the battery. This has caused significant anxiety for EV drivers. To resolve this issue, EV owners must have access to convenient charging. This session will focus on bringing SMEs from EV charger manufacturers and utilities to discuss the current state of the technology and grid, challenges, and the road ahead to meet the upcoming EV charging demand.
