Electric vehicle insights
- Gain an awareness of the different electric vehicle charging station levels and capabilities.
- Review several responses to questions posed during this webcast.
As the world continues adopting electric vehicles (EV), there are several factors to consider when designing the electrical system to support a customer’s site deployment. Because estimates show that more than 18 million EVs will be on the road by 2030, electrical engineers need to understand the challenges and solutions.
Electrical engineers designing EV supply equipment (EVSE) and systems to incorporate and support EV charging must be aware of the basics of charging as well as how the customer plans to use the charging stations. From this, the electrical engineer must be well versed in not only the EV charging hardware (Level 1 and Level 2 AC chargers, DC fast chargers), but also in the software platforms (charger network operators) that provide the functionality customers seek.
