Transportation Electrificaiton Infrastructure Workshop
Transportation Electrification Infrastructure Workshop
The transportation electrification transition necessitates addressing a wide range of issues and developing pathways for a successful transition. The first workshop on Consumers & Social Equity in Transportation Electrification laid the foundation through a social equity and consumer lens to ensure that the benefits of transportation electrification are shared equitably across all consumers. The next step is to identify infrastructure needs from technology, installation and ownership perspectives in order to better understand the capabilities, limitations and opportunities of charging infrastructure for advancing transportation electrification for the state.
Transportation technologies are essential to achieving state-level renewable energy, air quality, and climate change goals, and working with utilities to achieve these goals through provision of rebates, rates, charging infrastructure, and vehicle-grid integration technologies can and should be considered. The state should provide guidance and/or actions on: determining how much and what type of charging infrastructure is needed and where it should be located, improving regional coordination around infrastructure corridors, and deciding who should invest in the charging infrastructure.
