It turns out some of the most promising shared EV charging solutions are being tested right now on university and college campuses across BC. Jeanette Jackson is joined by industry experts Randy Zadra, Clean Transportation Advisor in Foresight’s BC Net Zero Innovation Network, and David Agosti, Director of Parking and Sustainable Mobility at Simon Fraser University. Together, they discuss the EV Charging Alliance, a Foresight working group helping campuses become shared-use EV charging hubs—serving residents, fleets, and communities alike.We look at how these collaborative, mixed-use models could be the key to unlocking scalable, cost-effective EV infrastructure across the province and beyond.Relevant Reports Electric Vehicle Charging Alliance Roadmap Further ReadingVentures to Value Chains: Energy Storage for TransportationPowering Canada’s Future with Vehicle to Grid InnovationBC Cleantech Export Report: TransportationAbout the GuestsRandy ZadraRandy Zadra is managing director of Integris, and serves as advisor to several companies including the World Manufacturing Forum (WMF), PEM Motion GmbH, and Foresight Canada.
