The Utility and Auto sectors are undergoing a revolutionary transformation with the rapid expansion of electric vehicles. As EV ownership and use grow, utility companies are forming partnerships with auto manufacturers, charging companies, and energy management vendors to help formulate their approach to managing EVs’ impact on energy demand and supply.
Join the journalists at Utility Dive who have been at the forefront of tracking these developments, along with key industry leaders, as we delve into the partnerships forming between the top utility and auto companies. Registrants for this free event will hear from our editorial team and panelists who will answer the questions top of mind for the industry, such as:
- Why have these partnerships become necessary? What do the partnerships bring that utilities can’t do themselves?
- What are utilities and their partners hoping to learn long term? What have they learned already?
- How will these partnerships measure success? What are the opportunities for ongoing collaboration?
Plus, we’ll present a case study of a successful partnership for our attendees to learn more about what aspects of EV charging it’s addressing. Utility Dive is tracking partnerships focused on vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-everything (V2X), demand response, energy use and charging behavior, charging infrastructure ownership and management, equity and more. Hear from participants in one such partnership about the scope of work, goals, results to date and future plans.
