Lunch & Learn: Building the Urban EV Future
Electric-vehicle charging is no longer confined to freeways and suburban garages—it’s moving into our dense urban centers. But how do we design charging infrastructure that actually fits the complexity of city life?
Join Alex Grant, Founder of Urban EV and former Rivian Charging Manager, for an inside look at what it takes to bring reliable, accessible EV charging to apartments, mixed-use properties, and fleet operations in crowded cities.
Alex is an EV infrastructure development professional with a decade of experience guiding projects from concept to construction. Before founding Urban EV, he managed charging deployment for Rivian and PG&E, helping expand the charging footprint across California. Alex holds an MBA from UC Davis Graduate School of Management and a background in Urban Planning from the University of Oregon.
Alex will unpack:
Autonomous vehicle charging and it's role in the urban fabric.
How multifamily developers, building owners, and operators can future-proof EV infrastructure.
The evolving policy and utility landscape shaping urban electrification
Lessons from deploying DCFC and L2 chargers across the United States.
What innovations Urban EV is piloting to make city charging scalable and equitable
