Pittsburgh, PA
Reduce uncertainty in your fleet electrification journey with the help of vehicle telematics. Join us to learn how managing fleets gets easier when you gain a more comprehensive understanding of vehicle usage and patterns and ensure you're only paying for the charging infrastructure you need. This hands-on workshop session will illustrate how this data can reveal solutions to your fleet electrification challenges, as well as assist in conducting a site assessment using National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) EVI-LOCATE tool. Bring your facility manager along for a demonstration of how to estimate the cost of developing charging infrastructure and evaluate the implications of electric vehicle charging electrical loads to your facility.
Instructors
Ranjit Desai, Lead EV Researcher and Analyst, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Read Bio
As a lead Researcher and Analyst, Ranjit is supporting efforts at NREL's Center for Integrated Mobility Systems (CIMS) as a part of the Sustainable Transportation Integration Group where he is researching Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure. He supports the Federal Fleet team and U.S. DOE's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and works on EV charging infrastructure analysis projects, along with a variety of interdisciplinary integrated modeling and analysis transportation-related projects involving techno-economic analysis, financial modeling, technology adoption, and system dynamics. He has also developed models to analyze how the consumer heterogeneities, uncertainties and technological progress impact the adoption of electric vehicles.
David Munn, Branch Chief, Innovation Team, General Services Administration Read Bio
David Munn is the Branch Chief of the Innovation team at GSA Fleet. This team is responsible for developing and deploying ancillary vehicle products and services as well as other cost savings solutions across the federal fleet. Working at the intersection of transportation and information technology for the past 13 years, David has spearheaded several initiatives across the federal fleet community, including: GSA Fleet's Telematics Program, the Government's first mobile apps for fleet asset management, and the development of GSA's Short Term Rental program. A New England native, David received his Master's in Technology Management from Georgetown University and B.A. in Policy Management from Dickinson College.
Mary Till, Director of Business Development, Sawatch Labs Read Bio
Mary first began working with fleets in 2006 while assisting with the Pennsylvania statewide emergency response radio rebanding (PA-STARNet). Since that time, she has worked with fleets in many industries to leverage the power of driving data to create positive behavior change, demonstrating results in reduced fuel consumption & emissions, and increased safety. With her extensive knowledge of embedded telematics systems, she has led deployments in over 20 countries. Her present work at Sawatch Labs supports smart, economical fleet electrification & optimization for commercial and government fleets through advanced analysis of telematics data. Ms. Till is proud to serve as Board Secretary for Drive Clean Colorado, a Clean Cities Coalition.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Identify how telematics data can reduce the guesswork in your electrification process;
- Recognize how data analytics can help shape and inform an electrification path for fleets of varying size;
- Identify key points to consider when planning and designing an electrification program;
- Identify how data analytics and proper ZEV planning can help drive the adoption culture.
