Addressing The Challenges of Charging at Multi-Family Housing
Jun 11th 10AM to 11AM PST
The challenges and opportunities of EV charging infrastructure at MFH
Setting up EV charging at multi-family housing units is a complex process with multiple stakeholders and technological challenges. For the many stakeholders that need to be involved, connectivity and load management integration, to the various technological solutions, EV charging poses many challenges to integration into the multi-family housing industry. The best approach to electrify multi-family housing include improving equitable distribution benefits, stakeholder engagement, defining site selection factors and understanding permitting and policy considerations that could impact the project.
This webinar will focus on identifying the best practices to address the challenges of equitable distribution, site selection, permits and policy considerations.
