EV Fast Chargers: Can America Deploy Them Quick Enough?
April 13, 2023 @ 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM New York
Co-Hosts: John Thomas, COO of Autel, Brian O’Leary, Global Accounts Manager, Global Head e-Mobility & Infrastructure, Loren McDonald, Electric Vehicle (EV) Analyst at EVAdoption
With dozens of new and increasingly compelling electric vehicle (EV) models with near or more than 300 miles of range coming to market, the biggest hurdle to mass adoption of EVs is reliable and convenient charging infrastructure. But many challenges lay ahead.

With dozens of new and increasingly compelling electric vehicle (EV) models with near or more than 300 miles of range coming to market, the biggest hurdle to mass adoption of EVs is reliable and convenient charging infrastructure. But many challenges lay ahead.
In the April EV InSIDER Live webcast, John Thomas, COO of Autel, a fast-growing EV charging hardware company, will share his views and expertise from being on the frontlines of this race to help America buildout both Level 2 and DC fast-charging infrastructure. Co-hosts Brian O’Leary and Loren McDonald will have a highly interactive and candid conversation with John and focus on three core topics areas:
• Current State of the Industry: Who are the key players and roles in the ecosystem? Are current business models the right approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the billions of dollars in public funding? What’s behind poor uptime at many charging networks? Will charging networks ever make a profit?
• Can the Industry Deploy Chargers to Meet Charging Demand?: How challenging will the Buy America rules be that reduce supply options combined with shortages of transformers, switchgear, and electricians? Can utilities keep up with the demand to connect chargers to the grid? Do we even need as many chargers as some predict?
• Future of EV Charging: Will public chargers become digital billboards? Will the industry re-focus on Level 2 charging for daily driving needs? What new types of chargers might we see? What role with AI, machine learning, and data play? Less
