Electrify: Transportation
October 20, 2022
Electrifying the nation’s transportation system is a systemic shift. Getting it right demands smart public-private collaboration.
Electrifying the nation’s transportation system is a systemic shift. Getting it right demands smart public-private collaboration.
Electrification is driving major changes: from a transition to clean sources of energy at source, to the creation of vast new charging infrastructure, to the transition of how we power major fleets, to a digitized, two-way electric grid powered by distributed resources.
Each of these trends is seeing huge capital investment and new deployment of technology, and each requires smart public-private collaboration to succeed.
On October 20, join CityAge, with the support of White & Case, as we dive into how to structure the emerging industrial and public-private partnerships shaping this exciting sector.
Event Themes Include:
- How to prioritize interoperability between vehicles and charging systems
- Ensuring the strategic and equitable placement of charging stations
- Strategies to best finance the transition with public and private funds
- Maintaining regular fleet operations throughout the transition
- Identifying the most impactful and cost-effective investments in grid modernization and distributed energy resources
- How to drive partnership between transportation agencies and public utilities
- How to monitor performance of new charging infrastructure and collect data to inform future plans
