BlastPoint CEO and Cofounder Alison Alvarez joins a panel of other experts on Day 2 of the Symposium at 3:30 p.m. EST to discuss ways utilities can help to accelerate EV adoption.
“Debunking the Myths: How to Grow Consumer Adoption of Electric Vehicles,” will feature Alvarez discussing how BlastPoint uses A.I. to help utilities understand the EV adoption curve in their regions. She’ll share how to use that knowledge to build intelligent business strategies that accelerate consumer adoption and create EV charging infrastructure access.
The panel also includes:
- Jenna Canseco, Director of Transportation Electrification at North America DNV, as moderator;
- Brian Lindamood, AVP, Marketing & Content Strategy at Questline;
- John Eichberger, Executive Director of the Fuels Institute; and
- Eric Cahill, Ph.D., Sr. Strategic Business Planner of Electric Transportation at SMUD
“The market for EVs is changing fast and so are the offerings from utilities, cities and other stakeholders. This panel will explore advancements in electric vehicles, including reduced charging times, improved infrastructure, increased range, battery storage and greater availability of models. We will also discuss overcoming barriers to adoption and increasing awareness of the benefits to electrifying transportation.”
