9:00 am–11:00 am | Wed, March 20, 2024
(Workshop A) EV Charging 101: Site-Host Selection, Install & Operations
Conducting a Transportation Electrification Feasibility Study (TEFS) is the first step in determining if Electric Vehicle (EV) charging is appropriate for your site. Our session will teach participants that each EV Charging Equipment (EVCE) installation project differs. Certain site characteristics will be important in determining the charging infrastructure that should be installed. Soulful Synergy's Training will walk participants through the different steps of conducting a Feasibility Study, helping people understand the important data to be collected and factors that will determine the site's charging needs and limitations.
This training will teach participants:
- Important site characteristics to consider when designing and developing EVCE Projects
- How to calculate charging needs and charging costs
- Importance of managed charging to meet site requirements
