🌐EV/AV Meetup - Autonomous depot charging infrastructure

​Welcome back to the 🌐 9Zero EV/AV Cluster Meetup 🌐 where builders, operators, and enthusiasts come together to explore what’s next in electric and autonomous mobility.

​This meetup features Flipturn, a leading charging and energy management platform for electric and autonomous fleets. As autonomous vehicles hit the roads of cities nationwide, vehicle charging has proven to be a key challenge. How do companies ensure that vehicles are available and can be dispatched quickly to reach the rider? The logistics involved – securing adequate electrical capacity for the charging site, balancing charging speeds with costs, and ensuring maximum equipment uptime – require careful consideration and planning.

​Flipturn’s CEO, Katie Siegel, will be moderating a panel exploring how vehicle charging impacts the commercial viability of AV fleets, how AV fleet operators can navigate charging infrastructure and operations challenges, and what successful charging looks like at scale.

​The panel will cover topics including:

• ​An overview of the basics of AV charging: what it is and how it works

• ​Designing an appropriate charging setup based on the AV fleet's needs

• ​How temporary and public charging can support operations before a depot is built

• ​Making the most of available electrical capacity, with utility flexible connection programs and load management
