The State of the Industry: Leveraging Data on the Trajectory of EV Charging Across Industries to Inform Your Investments
Join us for a presentation by the Transportation Energy Institute (TEI) - an independent think tank and research center focused on on-road, low-carbon transportation fuels - and the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE). Together, they’ve created the Charging Analytics Program (CAP), a tool to help site hosts and the EV charging industry make smarter decisions about existing and future charging locations.
In this session, Karl and James will use the CAP tool to derive insights from key data points. These insights include:
- Data and insights highlighting what’s actually happening regarding charging utilization, sessions, and charging failures with analysis of what is driving causation
- The tools available to make informed decisions to maximize existing EV charging sites and benchmark your site against top and bottom performers
- Independent industry charging data from a non-profit think tank
- Assessing trend lines to get insights about the future of charging
- What might be happening behind the data and insights discussed, featuring relevant use cases and different charging scenarios
