With electric vehicles likely to make up at least half of all car sales by 2030, the Biden administration has allocated $7.5 billion to construct a nationwide network of 500,000 EV charging stations​. This investment reflects the growing emphasis on modernizing power grids and expanding the diversity of energy resources. As the industry stands on the brink of a major transformation, the question arises: What are the key challenges and opportunities in integrating EV charging infrastructure with the existing power grid?

This is the central question that Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B at MarketScale, explores in a compelling conversation with Dr. Prabhu Dayal, Chairman of the Energy Utility and Environment Conference (EUEC), at ChargeExpo 2024. As the official media partner of the event, MarketScale had the privilege of engaging in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Prabhu.

The two discuss…

  • The significant growth of the EUEC over the past 25 years and the introduction of the Transportation Electrification Conference.
  • The evolving landscape of EV charging, with a focus on battery technology, charging station design, and the integration of EVs into utility fleets.
  • The importance of cybersecurity in the energy sector and the potential of renewables to shape the future of EV charging and power generation.

Dr. Prabhu brings a wealth of experience to the table, with a background in electrical engineering and a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona. His leadership in the EUEC has been instrumental in addressing the pressing issues facing the energy, utility, and environment sectors.
