<span style="line-height: 1.5;" class=""><span class="e2ma-style" style="font-size: 14px;"><strong class="">Abstract:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong>The rapid emergence of electric vehicles can deliver energy security and environmental
benefits by transitioning transportation from oil to electricity infrastructure, but will also pose new challenges to the electricity system. In order to better understand customer behaviour and network requirements for at-home charging, Vector, New Zealand’s
largest electricity and gas distributor, has been carrying out an EV Smart Charging Trial with 200 EV owners over the last 2 years. The trial demonstrated that Smart Charing can successfully integrate EVs into the network while delivering customer satisfaction.
The webinar will provide real-world insights and practical advice for strategists, engineers and other energy professionals around EV network integration based on the findings of the EV Smart Charging Trial.</span></span></div>
