Get answers to your planning and deployment questions with the Public #EV Charging Infrastructure Playbook. We just added four ? new ? modules to help with key considerations when planning and deploying EV infrastructure. Dive in now for new resources, videos, and activities on important topics like policies, regulations, procurement, and revenue.

We are thankful to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory for helping create and highlight our Public EV Charging Playbook! Check out the playbook: https://lnkd.in/eG2HcWqa And our virtual tour:

Join Argonne National Laboratory experts at 11 Pacific / 2 Eastern today, Friday, November 22, for a webinar on ?? ?? ? Electric Vehicles and Their Batteries: A Life Cycle Perspective on Environmental Impacts ?? ?? ? Life cycle analysis (LCA) is used to evaluate the environmental impact of products, processes, and systems. Argonne National Laboratory’s R&D GREET model (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Technologies) has been developed over the past 30 years to support LCA across many products and sectors. This webinar will discuss the development of the R&D GREET model along with its application to electric vehicles and their batteries. Register here ? https://lnkd.in/g2a4x6cZ

Get the tools to make sure your EV charging project works for everyone, now and in the future. Watch our recent webinar recording: https://lnkd.in/gi6VWzw8

Our EV Working Group meets this Wednesday and Friday to discuss and vote on recommendations from the charging network, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle, and grid integration subgroups. Meetings are open to the public. Watch last week's meeting with recommendations here: https://lnkd.in/gJxkwRC6 Register for the upcoming meetings: https://lnkd.in/gh22uhgf

Electric vehicles are more than just a clean, efficient way to get around. They provided support for community resilience when Hurricanes Helene and Milton recently devastated many communities in the Southeast. See how real EV owners helped their neighbors in a time of need: Jason's neighbor kept the refrigerator running with his Kia EV6. ?? https://lnkd.in/gfDgAsVa Michael's Rivan R1T was swept away by floods. When he got it back, it still worked--and he used it to power a food truck to feed neighbors and a chainsaw to clear debris from roads. ?? https://lnkd.in/g6vbYC_m Justin and Erica each used a Ford F-150 Lightning to power a veterinary practice. ?? https://lnkd.in/gYT9J8cc Chris kept his CPAP running and the AC on using a Ford Lightning. ?? https://lnkd.in/g4sdjXBF These inspiring stories of resilience show us that EVs provide a foundation for innovation across all aspects of everyday life, as well as in emergencies.

Let the testing begin! ???? The ChargeX Consortium and Joint Office are?excited to help the charging industry continue to innovate at scale with our interoperability test cases at the CharIN Testival this week! ?? K. Shankari will use an open-sourced approach to managed charging to show how EV-controlled departure time can work—all using code that is freely available in the open-source EVerest project, meaning you can take it home with you! She’ll be there for office hours and to help troubleshoot. ? ChargeX Consortium will continue its mission to improve the customer’s charging experience by facilitating interoperability testing and demonstrating?remote charge discovery between an EV and EVSE in different locations to enable charger testing, called Remote Test Harness.?

How slow can you go? ?? Turns out there's plenty of time to charge if you can do it when and where your car is already parked. Slower charging also helps optimize energy use and costs. Learn about the advantages of slow charging: "If a rollout of slow plugs makes it possible for them to steal a few electrons while they go about their lives, American confidence in EVs will rise." https://lnkd.in/gMFc33Kk

Congratulations to Deerfield, Massachusetts, on opening the first Charging and Fueling (CFI) station in the Eastern U.S. to support charging for local residents and visitors alike! Learn more about this first fast charger in the area. https://lnkd.in/gG-qZBEY

We had a great time at National League of Cities' #CitySummit24 this week! From streetcars to police cruisers, everything can be electrified. We met with many cities to learn about their unique needs and requirements. We're here to help every city give their residents more choices for how to get around. ?
