Governments and utilities are striving to cut emissions, and electric vehicles have emerged as a key solution to meet climate goals and bolster grid stability. The surge in EV charging across residential and commercial use cases presents an opportunity for utilities to manage peak demand and unlock distribution grid benefits. Yet, scaling programs, especially to multifamily buildings where a significant portion of the population resides, presents challenges. This panel will share learnings from active and passive managed charging programs in-market today that are providing value to EV drivers, building owners, and utilities and helping accelerate an equitable energy transition.
