This half-day tutorial will address the issues with transformers, the impacts of fleet charging on the grid (e.g., trucks, rental vehicles, buses, taxies, and city vehicles, etc.), and what to think about in terms of grid upgrades and sequencing. The tutorial will draw from several examples and the lessons learned from those examples. Finally, it will take a quick look at how society changes if we shift around activities to make maximum use of solar in transportation.
Objective: Understanding of:
Fleets and fleet charging of electric vehicles
Fleet statistics and in transit use of charging
Typical locations of fleet facilities and their grid infrastructure
Typical daily schedule and impacts – including sample quick calculations.
Impacts on grid planning from the DOE NOPR
No regrets grid planning standards and planning actions
Impacts on society of maximizing solar use for fleet and EV charging.
