Connected Devices Session
Take an electric vehicle road trip with the Connected Devices Interest Group! Our first stop will be a cost calculator developed by Tuscon Electric Power (TEP) to help mitigate the fear of purchasing fleets of electric vehicles. Our second stop will be a cost calculator developed by TEP to help customers understand and plan for converting to EVs. Our final stop includes Eversource and Energy Hub discussing how they created a BYOD DR program for electric vehicles. At every stop along the way, we will discuss the resources, opportunities and barriers that utilities must consider to incorporate these types of solutions into a program.

After a long road trip, we come home to our “Connected Home”, a bundle of smart devices that work together to make our lives more comfortable, and also to provide energy benefits to our utilities. Hear from CLEAResult and AEG about a study conducted with PG&E to learn how customers interact with their smart technology, and what functionality might be of greatest interest to them in the future. These insights are helpful as utilities strive to leverage the benefits of an increasing number of smart devices.
