EV managed charging programs can now capture multiple grid and customer benefits. Appropriately valuing these benefits is highly dependent on both regulatory frameworks and selecting appropriate evaluation approaches. This panel will draw on program and evaluation results to provide an overview of managed charging benefit-cost analysis frameworks and lessons learned from across the U.S.; an evaluator’s perspective on best practices for measuring EV managed charging program impacts and benefits; and utility perspectives on opportunities to advance program designs and regulatory frameworks to capture the full suite of benefits. Join us to learn how impact analyses and benefit-cost analyses are applied to managed charging programs, and a vision for how load management practitioners can collaborate to enhance program designs, evaluation approaches, and regulatory frameworks to appropriately capture the benefits that managed charging programs provide to utilities, ratepayers, and society.
