WTS-NH Lunch n' Learn: Batteries Included: The Future is eMobility
Date: Wednesday, April 10
Time: 12:00-1:00 pm
1 PDH credit hour available for attendees
Platform: Zoom (email [email protected] for a link to join)
Join WTS-NH for our coming Lunch n' Learn event on April 10th from 12:00-1:00 pm. We welcome Scott Shillieto, PE and Brian Smith, PE from McFarland Johnson as they discuss the current state and future of eMobility!
They will provide attendees a fundamental understanding of what eMobility is, why it is important to transition from internal combustion vehicles to EV’s, what type of infrastructure is required to support EV’s, and how this infrastructure has an effect on the adaptation of EV’s. Attendees will also learn what Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is, what the current state of AAM adaptation is, the future of AAM, and what type of infrastructure is required to support AAM. We will also discuss some of the impacts eMobility and AAM will have on the state’s transportation system, and the potential electrical demand required to support this adaptation.
