California is doubling down on its de-carbonization plan – already aggressive by global standards. With SB350, the push towards electrification expands from cars to the entirety of transport: buses, medium and heavy duty trucks, port and airport support vehicles, forklifts and CATs. Meanwhile California utilities have been cleared to sink $1.1 billion into charging systems, to result in a 10X jump from 6000 to 60,000 stations. Money from CARB and US DOE is filtering out for pilots and programs. According to the EV Association, $4.5 billion in California sales and services will be transacted by 2023 around EVs and charging infrastructure. Even as other states move forward with their own frameworks and pilots (with 4000 new charging stations installed nation-wide in 2015), California remains the decisive testbed.

Yet the shift to electric transport represents a complex chicken & egg dynamic between vehicle adoption, utility economics and engineering, user psychology, build out and hosting of charging infrastructure by myriad parties. A tight, ongoing coordination is required between all the parties. The rollout of programs, technologies, protocols and standards needs to proceed in an integrated way, and we are still in the early days, compared to the desired 50% electrification goal stated in SB350.

To help further catalyze this momentous shift, Infocast is hosting the 2nd Annual EVs & the Grid Summit, scheduled for April 19-21 in Long Beach CA. The Summit will once again unite the stakeholder groups at the forefront of the transport and power convergence. Policy-makers and utilities will thrash out what kinds of business models can capture the new value streams (and costs) from electrification and a digital, distributed grid. Third party solution providers will assess partnership opportunities and requirements for equipment, software, energy storage & conversion and on-site renewables. Automakers will share their views on the market, latest models and and how to overcome adoption hurdles. Port and airport authorities, municipalities, fleet managers and commercial building owners will also be present to add their perspective and explore partnering opportunities with solution providers.

Presentations: Short Updates on Charging Pilot Programs, Initiatives and Partnerships

Session I: The Policy Landscape

Panel Discussion: Vehicle Electrification Post-SB350: What Levers Will Get Us from 3% to 50%?This opening panel will provide a cross-cutting assessment of what SB350 means for the whole vehicle electrification movement looking forward to the big “goal post” of 2030.

Panelists will look at: » How transport provisions of SB350 are being implemented

and funded? » Whether & how current business models, pilot programs are

suited for scaling by a factor of 10, and if not, what other strategies are required

» Interaction with existing commitments from the top 3 IOUs in California

» Trends in EV adoption » How bringing the rest of the transport scene under the

electrification umbrella will affect the near-term focus on cars and light truck electrification—what new opportunities will this added push open up?

Group Luncheon

Presentation: Integrating Millions of Electric Vehicles into the California GridUCLA Smart Grid Energy Research has been developing the WINSmartEV™ network that enables electric vehicles to be charged in a manner that’s friendly to the EV driver, the microgrid or local facility, and the electric grid. This architecture and the EVSmartPlug™ multiplexing EV charger technology is being tested for scale with over 200 EV smart charging stations within its network in the greater Los Angeles region.

Rajit Gadh, Ph.D., Founder & Director, UCLA SMART GRID ENERGY RESEARCH CENTER

Presenter to be announced

Panel Discussion: Accelerating Deployment: Utility Plans, Programs & Priorities

» Update on progress from PG&E, SoCal Edison & SDG&E » Developments in charging business models and

infrastructure rollouts in other states » How are utilities interacting with other stakeholders when

the utility does not own the actual charging system—Residential vs. commercial site vs public charging

» How do third party solution providers fit in these emerging utility business models—transactional software, services and cloud data tracking etc?

» How will charging loads (and down the road, storage/buffering) integrate with the emerging digital, distributed grid?
