Plugged-In: Exploring Electric Vehicles
Join Us for a Greener Tomorrow!
The EVAA is hosting Plugged-In: Exploring Electric Vehicles.
The fireside chat will bring together Shane Fraser and William York to engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving landscape of electricity grid management in Alberta.
Shane & William will be delivering a debate on kWh-based pricing versus per-unit-of-time charging, each passionately defending their stance. Could York’s argument for fair, consumption-based billing prevail, or will Fraser’s case for time-based pricing as a means of managing demand and infrastructure prove more persuasive? Lines will be drawn, minds may be changed, and perhaps even your perspective will shift. Who will emerge victorious? Will you have a say in shaping the future of EV charging? Join the discussion and find out!
With growing demand for energy, and the rise of EVs, the conversation will explore the successes and challenges utilities face in ensuring the grid remains reliable and adaptable. The panelists will also delve into the impact of EV adoption on grid capacity, infrastructure, and how utilities are preparing for this shift in energy consumption. The panel will examine how this policy change has influenced the province’s approach to renewable energy development, both in the short and long term. They’ll discuss the implications for energy security, the pace of renewable energy projects, and how this shift might impact the overall stability of the grid as Alberta works to balance traditional and renewable energy sources.
This chat promises to offer valuable insights as they navigate the complexities of future-proofing Alberta’s energy grid and ensuring a sustainable, reliable energy supply for the province’s residents and businesses.
