Event Details

 

While billions of dollars are being spent on charging infrastructure and the electric vehicles themselves, we often forget to include the third essential ingredient in electric transportation success: the human decision-maker at a home or business. Electric transportation isn’t just a technology shift; it involves a major behavior change endeavor. 

The Electric Vehicle Driver Experience Initiative (EVDX) focuses on improving the EV journey for consumers and businesses, seeing the issues through their lens, not ours. Our EVDX Solutions Lab, held this summer, included 100 EV professionals learning from sessions and engaging in ‘innovation design sprints’ to identify core barriers to EV adoption and create high level solutions to overcome those barriersThis webinar will start by illuminating the key themes that were presented by speakers at the Lab, and then share programmatic solutions for utilities, governments, and non-profits that are hard at work on this essential transition. 

Topics covered include:

  • Key methods to move from early adopters to majority consumers and businesses
  • Identifying specific barriers to adoption in key market sectors, from low-income multi-family and residential single family, to small business, to larger fleets
  • Sharing highly-detailed journey experiences for specific target segments
  • Highlighting the “winning” new program designs to improve the driver experience

Who Needs to Attend?

Utility, government, non-profit and for-profit executives, directors, and managers focused on:

  • EV program design for residential and business
  • EV education, marketing, and communications
  • Market researchers and business intelligence professionals
  • Electricity pricing and managed charging
  • Home, workplace, public, and corridor charging
  • Electric transportation equity
  • Regulation and legislation concerning electric transportation
