EV Charging: A Look Under the Covers
EV charging sounds simple: plug in, charge, disconnect. When you look under the covers it quickly becomes a minefield: safety, regulation and compliance to fast evolving standards, long-lived products, every physical installation and communications context that you might conceive. Then you have to account for inventive users, all manner of use-cases, supply constraints, vehicles and the potential use of the large store of energy that EV batteries offers. This talk will provide a different perspective on EV charging, the eco-system it serves, V2X, the need and opportunities for engineering talent, energy management and the mobility data-sphere. QED.
