EVs, EV Charging & Storage

“We’re hardening the grid for storms and fires, building infrastructure to connect renewables, and replacing aging infrastructure. These large EV loads aren’t being factored into these projects and will add to the demands on engineering and construction resources.”

Innovative Approach to System Reliability: “On the weather-prone outer Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, Eversource developed an innovative solution to deploy a microgrid on a 13-mile circuit with a battery as the sole source of supply. Eversource is a member company of the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies.”

Conversation with e-bike founder Don DiCostanzo about his week with William Shatner before and after the historic space trip.

“We have supply chain issues. It’s an unforeseen roadblock that most didn’t expect a year ago, but now is potentially existential to everybody’s plans around vehicle electrification.”

“We’re focused on learning what’s the true energy, utility, sustainability, water, and community impact of indoor agriculture.”

“This is a huge event. It fits right into our path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The utility sector has been ahead of other sectors in decarbonization.”

“EV make-ready is the electric distribution infrastructure needed to support increased load and demand brought by EV charging infrastructure.”

“Cadenza brought safety to the inside of the battery, instead of having to patch it around the battery.”

Conversation with Scott Neuman and Paul McDonald, group vp and senior director for industry strategy, Oracle Utilities Opower.

Since forecasts predict much of the future charging load associated with EVs will occur at home, residential time-varying rates will be a valuable tool for utilities to manage system costs by influencing EV charging behavior.
