PLMA Summer Symposium – EV Grid Impacts and Data Center Exchange
EV Grid Impacts Track
Wednesday, EV BreakOut 6 | Studio B | 10:15 - 11:00 am
Lessons from the Field: Integrated EV Fleet Managed Charging
Join Itron’s Jennifer Gallegos, Matthew Mill, The Mobility House and NYCS Bus in the EV Grid Impacts Track for a panel that discusses the real-world integration of an EV fleet managed charging system to a DERMS platform, in an active utility territory, in order to enable grid-aware charging while meeting fleet operational requirements.
The conversation will focus on the practical challenges encountered during integration and installation, how roles and responsibilities were defined across organizations, and what results were observed once the system went live. We’ll focus on real outcomes, lessons learned, and insights that other utilities and fleets can apply today to support fleet electrification while reducing their need for costly distribution upgrades.
Meet up with Itron’s Jennifer Gallegos or John Steinberger while at the conference!
PLMA’s 2026 Summer Symposium includes two parallel tracks which will be presented together in the same hotel, at the same time, and will also include shared opportunities for networking and conversation. The EV Grid Impacts track will explore lessons learned, challenges, and opportunities related to V2G, V2X, and managed charging. While the Data Center XChange track will delve into the role that load flexibility solutions can play in accelerating data center energization.
As a diverse and collaborative organization, PLMA looks forward to welcoming 200+ practitioners and experts to this Summer Symposium, including representatives from the utilities, vendors, auto OEMs, data centers, and many other engaged participants and stakeholders.
PLMA’s Summer Symposium will present over 20 peer-selected sessions, important and relevant product and service offerings from our sponsors, and the opportunity to dig into both current experiences and lessons learned (Symposium Day One), as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead (Symposium Day 2), for both EVs and data centers.
