Learning Objectives
By the end of this 45-minute educational session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand EV fundamentals and how they influence infrastructure needs
Learn the different types of electric vehicles on the road today, how battery capacity varies, and why factors like dwell time, charging speed, and location use cases should guide infrastructure planning decisions.

2. Assess and plan EV charging infrastructure that aligns with community use
Explore how to match charger types (Level 2 vs. DC fast charging) to municipal settings, tourism destinations, workplaces, and downtown areas—while identifying when existing hardware or software may need upgrades to meet current demand.

3. Navigate funding, zoning, and best practices for successful deployments
Review available New York and federal funding opportunities, zoning and siting considerations, and real-world examples showing how EV charging supports tourism, economic activity, and long-term community planning.
