Utility executives cite ‘hyper-clustered’ load as top challenge in EV transition

摘要

US utility executives gearing up for mass electric vehicleadoption said that having enough power plants to meet EVcharging demand is still secondary to the challenge of linkingexisting generation to the load.“The key challenges that we see are much more how hyperclusteredthese loads can be,” said Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud,e-mobility director with Consolidated Edison Inc. An extremeexample is New York City’s industrial business zones, wheremost of the city’s commercial vehicle fleets are located. “That’snot to say the incremental generation isn’t needed,” Reichborn-Kjennerud added.
