The Critical Role of Data for EV Charging Operators

Higher equipment uptime and reduced operational costs are top priorities for EV charging operators. Technologies that use analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), or machine learning (ML) have been proven to help achieve these outcomes. Successfully employing these tools requires data with semantic meaning that is easily accessible by authorized users. This panel will review how to make data useful to an EV charging operator.

This panel will dive into:

Why easy-to-access data with semantic meaning (descriptors) is an essential prerequisite to any software application that uses analytics, AI, or ML.
How data enables better collaboration within and between organizations and helps prevent vendor lock-in.
Methodologies for collecting, modeling, and storing EV charging operational data to enable these various software applications.
