Description

Members can attend for FREE. Non-members will be charged $25.

Join subject matter experts on EV Charging to share their practical expertise in developing EV strategies, integrating them into business goals, and smoothly deploying and installing EV Charging infrastructure. Many people don't understand the full Total Cost of Ownership picture when it comes to EV charging, as most of the revenue implications come post-install and most parking operators are early in their EV journey and don't have much data or experience with managing EV Charging. We will discuss potential revenue streams related to EV charging (many of which you probably haven't thought of) and best practices to consider including right-sizing, pricing policies, and future proofing. Attendees will leave this session with a better understanding of how the implementation of EV Charging infrastructure has become not just more affordable, but can actually be a revenue stream generating profit for your organization.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand technology nuances of EV charging better
  • Understand revenue streams and total cost of ownership of EV charging better
  • Learn best practices of EV Charging deployments at Universities

    Director of Parking & Sustainable Mobility Services
    Simon Fraser University

    David Agosti is the Director of Parking and Sustainable Mobility at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and is responsible for everything commuter-related across all three SFU campuses.

    When looking at transportation, David analyzes consumer behaviour to better understand what motivates people to take different forms of transportation and what can be done to incentivize them to adopt more sustainable modes. Through incentivizing sustainable transportation methods, David’s department aims to help SFU achieve its 2025 Sustainability goal by reducing Scope 3 emissions from commuting by 25%.

    During David’s decade-plus tenure at SFU, he has seen transportation at Universities shift from parking- focused departments to a more holistic viewpoint that takes into account the economic, environmental, and sociocultural impacts of our collective transportation choices. David is currently focusing on the intersection of data & technology, consumer behavior, and sustainability in the transportation field in such areas as: electrification, micro-mobility, mode-shift, and connectivity.

    During his spare time, David unplugs from technology and enjoys hikes into the backcountry of British Columbia to experience the natural wonder of our province.
