Brian Hamlin, City of Seattle, and CDS Steering Committee Co-Chair: started the meeting by providing a brief overview of OMF and CDS. He then gave an overview of the US DOT SMART Grant and the collaborative facilitated by OMF.
It was then announced that the US DOT just made a new NOFO announcement for a SMART grant for next year. OMF is asking attendants to share whether they would be interested in a cohort.
Brian passed it on to Michael Schnuerle, Director of Open Source Operations with the OMF.
Michael: talked about the EV Charging Survey. Since participation in the survey was not optimal, encouraged attendees to take the survey. Michael stressed the need to get feedback and sharing of expertise. So far there were 16 respondents with approximately 75% of respondents Public Agencies and 25% PRIVATE Companies.
Michael continued briefing the attendees with some findings related to the EV Charging Survey:
- Respondents are currently managing dozens of chargers while others manage 100s and planning to expand to 1000’s
- Respondents are currently relaying on 3rd party vendors to provide current status of EV Charging network
- Curb turnover goals vary based on the location
- Mostly the EV Chargers are owned by cities but managed by private companies
- There is a preference for off-street charging
- Most new installations are planned for multi-unit dwelling
- Cities are seeking State and Federal funding
- Partners are used
- Need for rich-usage data to communicate metrics to the public
- Types of data received is not consistent among the cities
- Many agencies get data from multiple sources
- A big concern is security of chargers and vandalism
- Many are interested in additional non-charging sensors
- 93% indicated that a data standard would be helpful
Michael then opened it to for questioning and discussion. Some questions and discussions ensued related to on-street installations vs off-street (Elias Khoury - City of San Jose and CDS Steering Committee board member, Katherine Rice - City of Seattle, and Andrew Glass Hastings – OMF Executive Director, Ahmed Darrat – INRIX and CDS Steering Committee board member, and Jacob Sherman City of Portland and CDS Steering Committee board member)
Michael continued with the presentation and expanded on the type of data received by the different agencies related to EV Charging. Typically getting a monthly report and not real-time data. A small discussion followed related to enforcement at EV Chargers. Seattle indicated that violations vary from citations to towing.
Jacob Larson, City of Omaha and Co-Chair of CDS Steering Committee, discussed City of Omaha’s data provided by their vendor, ChargePoint.
A discussion ensued included Ahmed, Katherine, Michael, Andrew, and Jacob around the data fields. It was noted that even though Boston uses ChargePoint, the data provided by them is different from what Omaha is getting.
Ahmad with IRIX, pointed out how their company aggregate data for over 134K EV Chargers, however, the data is limited mostly to just availability and navigation, with limited analytics.
Michael opened it again for discussion related to Use Cases and needs by the cities.
A discussion followed and included, Brian, Michael, Jacob Sherman, Alan Murphy – Smart Dublin, James Choe – MTC, Andrew, and Katherine. Conversation touched on paid parking transactions, determining whether an on-street EV charging is efficiently used, need for EV Charging data to facilitate decisions, need for real-time data for visibility and determining utilization, helps determine the demand for EV Charging, EV charging in residential areas, and on-street vs. off-street charging.
Michael asked about ideas for Focus group:
- What data is missing
- Governance of data
- Unanswered questions
Kenya Wheeler of SFMTA and CDS Steering Committee board member asked whether any of the cities completed applied for EV Charging grants. Jacob Sherman of Portland indicated that they have applied to one with a regional partner.
James Choe of MTC, stated that we should start thinking of the need to have data not only for vehicle charging but also for micro-mobility charging such as E-bikes and Scooters.
Michael then explained how CDS 1.0 has some capability, although limited, to support EV Charging. He then presented a list of EV Specs and encouraged everyone to take the survey.
Meeting then was adjourned with no additional questions at 10:13 AM PST.
