🌐EV/AV Meetup - The Physical and Digital infrastructure Behind AV Charging At Scale

Welcome back to the 🌐 9Zero EV/AV Cluster Meetup 🌐 where builders, operators, and enthusiasts come together to explore what’s next in electric & autonomous mobility.

The Physical and Digital Infrastructure Behind AV Charging At Scale:

As autonomous vehicles hit the roads of cities nationwide, vehicle charging has proven to be a key challenge. How do companies ensure that vehicles are available and can be dispatched quickly to reach the rider? The logistics involved – securing adequate electrical capacity for the charging site, balancing charging speeds with costs, and ensuring maximum equipment uptime – require careful consideration and planning.

The discussion will explore how vehicle charging impacts the commercial viability of AV fleets, how AV fleet operators can navigate charging infrastructure and operations challenges, and what successful charging looks like at scale.

Panelists will cover topics including:

• Overview of AV charging basics
• Designing an appropriate charging setup based on AV fleet needs
• How temporary and public charging can support operations before a depot is live
• Making the most of available electrical capacity, with utility flexible connection programs and load management

🗣️ Speakers:

• (Moderator) Katie Siegel | Flipturn - CEO & Co-founder
• Josie-Dee Li | Einride - Product Director, Charging & Energy | EV/AV Cluster Leader
• Other panelist info coming soon!
