Navigating Florida’s Evolving EV Infrastructure: Addressing Structural Challenges, Equity, and Future Grid Stability

Thursday, November 14, 2024
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET
Location: Orlando Ballroom V, Conference Level, Orlando Hilton
This session will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in Florida, following the passage of a significant bill this year aimed at transforming the sector. In addition to addressing critical structural issues, particularly in electrical load distribution, this legislation also highlights the role of energy storage solutions in balancing loads and enhancing grid stability. While some customers are becoming more advanced with technologies like EVs, solar, and demand response, others face barriers such as lack of knowledge, time, money, or ownership rights, preventing them from adopting these innovations. This raises important questions about how to meet all customers' needs and ensure no one is left behind in this transition. Furthermore, with last year's bill limiting utilities' ability to rate-base EV infrastructure, determining how and where this infrastructure gets built has become a complex and intriguing challenge.
