The University of Notre Dame, as part of its sustainability strategy, is working to develop an on-campus fleet vehicle EV plan, including centralized EV charging for campus-owned and operated service and rental vehicles used by a broad constituency. Additionally, the university seeks to support and encourage EV deployment by faculty, staff, students, and visitors whilst being mindful of the potential carbon and infrastructure impacts on the campus. Considering typically short commutes in its mid-sized midwestern urban area, the university seeks to be a support and not a primary source for charging. Using the benefits of a dynamic charging software platform, it seeks to gauge charging patterns, needs, and locations to right-size our offerings. As an Alliance customer of Eaton, the University of Notre Dame continues to work in partnership with them as it addresses the growing need for EV charging.
Discussion topics include:
- Software utilization and data analysis
- Appropriate pricing and means of carbon offsetting
- Proper targeting and placement of EV charging resources
