✨ Not long to go now for eDRV's next webinar on Interoperability! This time around we're tackling Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) and the importance of this model in fueling future fleets. Jim Donaldson, CTO at Hitachi ZeroCarbon, joins eDRV CTO Rupul Safaya for an engaging discussion of the challenges and commercial opportunities that arise from CaaS.  As Chief Technology Officer for Hitachi ZeroCarbon, Jim has a front seat view of employing charging solutions for business fleets by bringing together Hitachi’s technologies in AI and IoT to deliver solutions in Energy, Transport and Smart Cities. In this webinar Rupul and Jim will be discussing: 💡 What is CaaS and why will it be essential for future EV fleets? 🕯 What are the major business considerations in employing CaaS solutions? 🔦 What are the major challenges commercial fleets face? 🚨 Is charging now considered critical infrastructure? The webinar will be this Thursday at 9am Pacific and register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/ekqkArNT Hope to see you all there! #emobility #fleets #CaaS #EVcharging #fleets

🎇 Great to hear that California has now hit over 100,000 public or shared private electric vehicle chargers in the state! In addition to public and shared private chargers, California now also has around 500,000 at-home chargers. In 2023 the state had around 93,000 EV chargers and have benefited from a raft of public funding to help scale new infrastructure towards their latest milestone. $1.9 billion was recently approved to build a bigger, better charging network in the state. It's crucial that these gains come with assured reliability and more interoperable EV charging infrastructure. Let's get scaling! Catch the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gZjiMYUQ
