A new exclusive webinar series delivered by Transport + Energy delves into the challenges facing both industries and attempts to ‘explain’ key topic areas to bust myths and help educate professionals from a variety of different stakeholder groups.
As part of this series, a new webinar in association with Zapmap Insights will take a close look at the issue of charge point utilisation with two of the biggest players in the ultra-rapid charging sector.
Through detailed case studies provided by industry leading firms GRIDSERVE and InstaVolt, the webinar seeks to explore the critical issues around utilisation at ultra-rapid charging sites, and how charge point operators (CPOs) manage, plan for and respond to the changes in utilisation across their network.
The webinar will include detailed insight into how charging data can be leveraged to inform investment decisions and strategic planning, and how to effectively and efficiently ensure the right chargers are provided in the right places, at the right time. In essence, the webinar will take a deep dive into how utilisation fluctuates over time , through specific examples from the three ultra-rapid CPOs featured.
Such data-rich insight is critical to the successful deployment of charging infrastructure across the UK, and the webinar will explore the variety of ways that CPOs are producing forward-thinking and far-reaching solutions as a result of their analyses.
In the post Open Data world, the practical examples from these CPOs will also highlight to listeners the critical impact of charge point utilisation data on their operations.
The webinar will feature:
- James Evison, Content Manager, Transport + Energy (co-chair)
- Jade Edwards, Head of Insights, Zapmap (co-chair)
- Simon Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, InstaVolt
- Rebecca Trebble, Chief Product Officer, GRIDSERVE
Topics to be discussed include:
- Two separate case study examples of utilisation
- Using data to inform investment and strategic planning decisions
- How charging data is analysed to inform decisions
- A discussion on the future of utilisation and how data can be used to build a thriving public charging ecosystem
- An overview of Zapmap’s wealth of utilisation data
- A question and answer session with the webinar audience
Jade Edwards, Head of Insights at Zapmap, commented:
“As increasing numbers of drivers transition to electric vehicles and more investment is made into the charging infrastructure, tracking utilisation to fully understand usage patterns will not only ensure that CPOs optimise the customer experience but also enable them to progress towards profitable business models. We’re delighted to be working with Transport + Energy on this very timely webinar to explore these issues.”
Commenting on the launch of the webinar series, Transport + Energy founder and editorial director Alec Peachey said:
“These are exciting times for this sector, with so much having to be implemented in such a short space of time, with the need for giant leaps in terms of technology, hardware, networks and collaboration. I’ve been considering this webinar series for a while and feel that it’s the right time to roll it out; as professionals in the sector, as well as those aligned to it, need to de-myth, learn and ask questions to help them to move forward. We are looking forward to working with Zapmap Insights on this important webinar which focuses on charge point utilisation.”
