5th EV Charging Infrastructure Summit—North America
The Edison Electric Institute estimates that some 9.6 million charging points will be needed in the U.S. by the end of the decade to support an estimated 18.7 million EVs on the road. As of April 2023, there were 136,513 charging points at 53,764 public and private stations according to data from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. This massive increase in EV charging infrastructure will have important implications for the grid and present stakeholders with significant challenges and opportunities.
Organized by the Smart Grid Observer, the 5th EV Charging Infrastructure Summit—North America, July 15–17, 2024 in Chicago convenes top industry experts and utility professionals to examine how growing EV adoption rates will impact the network and what investments are needed to ensure grid stability and benefit. Case studies of current utility programs and deployments will be discussed with an eye toward refining strategies, identifying technologies and implementing business models that will ensure that widespread EV adoption is optimized for all parties involved.
