There has been a significant rise in interest in electrification across Texas, reflecting the growing momentum for EV adoption nationwide. Opportunities exist to build out charging networks at university campuses, fleet depots, workplaces, and multi-family housing sites for electric vehicles of all sizes: from bikes, to passenger cars, to semi-trucks However, projects meant to support the deployment of charging infrastructure are often challenged by zoning issues, regulatory hurdles, or the availability of suitable technology.
Texas is drawing on lessons from other regions to expand its electric and zero-emission vehicle (EV/ZEV) infrastructure, with fleet operators emphasizing “non-negotiables” like reliable charging and efficient management. These insights are crucial as Texas scales its EV and medium/heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) charging networks.
Panelists will discuss new business models and financing options for EV trucks and car charging. They will also review Texas’s NEVI plans to guide the 2025 development of public EV and MHDV charging stations in partnership with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs).
Audience members will gain insights into the state’s recent MHDV charging infrastructure report, including how it underscores the importance of equitable planning and policies to ensure charging access for all vehicle types.
In addition, attendees will learn how existing passenger charging system platforms, including legacy systems, can be efficiently networked or retrofitted, enabling operators to mix, control, meter, and monetize any EVSE in their portfolio, current or future.
