April 14, 2023 – Sargent & Lundy is participating in the third annual Fleet Electrification U.S. conference hosted by Global Transmission Research, taking place April 25-26 in Washington, D.C. Sargent & Lundy’s Eric Back and Kalpesh Chaudhari will represent the firm in panels discussing fleet electrification opportunities, perspectives, and strategies. Sargent & Lundy is also hosting a booth on the conference floor where Back, Chaudhari, and Sargent & Lundy’s Alex Coologeorgen are ready to continue the conversation and share the firm’s unique offerings to support fleet electrification goals.

Chaudhari, a subject matter specialist in e-mobility analytics and solutions, will be speaking on the panel, “Emerging Opportunities – V2G and RE Integration,” from 3 to 3:45 p.m. EDT on April 25. He will discuss:

• Opportunities for fleet operators to use vehicle-to-grid technology without disrupting their existing operation and while also increasing revenue.
• Critical factors to consider in reducing total cost of ownership for school bus electrification and transit buses.
• Examples of how these “batteries-on-wheels” could help achieve grid resiliency in case of extreme weather events.

Back, a leading expert in the electric vehicle and transportation sector, will moderate the discussion, “OEM Offers and Perspective,” from noon to 1 p.m. EDT on April 26. Electric vehicle original equipment manufacturers will share their perspectives on topics including:

• Overall industry progress of fleet electrification adoption and transition.
• Transition strategies and considerations for different types of fleet vehicles.
• Interdependence between vehicle supply and charging infrastructure readiness.
• Ways to balance launching an electric vehicle and developing new technical specifications.
