Advanced Managed Charging Insights: Case Studies from Leaders in EV Load Management

North American utilities are at a turning point. With EV adoption set to surge by 1,400% by 2035, unmanaged load is no longer just a technical risk—it is a multi-billion-dollar liability. But what if this load was your greatest tool for affordability?

Join ev.energy, Avangrid, and MCE as we move past the "pilot phase" to explore the execution and strategy required to unlock the full potential of managed charging with real-world case studies.

This session is designed for VPs, Directors, and Managers of Customer Programs, Demand-Side Management (DSM), Integrated Resource Planning (IRP), Grid Modernization, and Regulatory Affairs who are tasked with navigating the financial and operational pressures of transportation electrification.
