Preparing for Electric Vehicles
Fierce Smart Grid, 9 December 2011
by Mary Reidy, Chair of IEEE P2030.1™ WG

While the electricity grid's current generation and distribution capacity might be sufficient to service the few hundred thousand of electric vehicles (EVs) in operation today, it is simply not poised to accommodate a wide-scale, long-term transition to alternative-fuel vehicles -- a trend that experts around the world agree is inevitable.

The gathering, global shift to electric-sourced personal and mass transit demands change among vehicle and equipment manufacturers, transportation providers, infrastructure developers, utilities, regulatory and government bodies and consumers worldwide. The required changes span tremendous scope -- across varied stakeholders, industries and borders -- and they will transpire over decades. The dimensions of the transformation are so immense, in fact, that preparations for the emerging world of EVs are already intense.
