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.

Key Takeaways

• The $30 Billion Cost-Avoidance Stack: A deep dive into the framework that proves managed charging can deliver up to $575 in annual avoided costs per EV.
• Growing Programs for Mass Participation: How to deploy an Open Charge approach and reach underserved segments like Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs) to build a foundational base of flexible load.
• Maximizing Participant Value: Why dynamic pricing and active management are key to outperforming traditional TOU rates and matching EV load to cheap, clean energy supply.
• The Blueprint for Scale: The roadmap for transitioning a small-scale managed charging program into a high-revenue Virtual Power Plant asset.
