Course Title: Electrifying the Transportation Sector: Planning and Designing For Electric Vehicle Usage

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: The United States is in the midst of a transportation revolution—from fossil-fueled automobiles to electric vehicles. In California alone, the governor has set a goal of having 1.5 million electric cars on the road by 2025. Some of these electric vehicles will be hybrids, and some will be electric only, or plug-in, vehicles. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, the Clean Cities Initiative, and dozens of local government initiatives around the country are working to provide the regulations, incentives and infrastructure necessary to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. Designers and constructors need to understand electric vehicle technology so that they can design buildings, parking facilities and communities that provide the necessary infrastructure for electric vehicles. This webinar gives design and construction professionals the background they need to understand the technical issues involved in order to provide the correct amount and type of charging facilities in the most convenient locations.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify the impacts of electric vehicles and gas-powered vehicles on the environment, including air pollution, carbon emissions, and the ability to utilize renewable energy for power.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to identify different types of electric vehicle (EV) technologies, including hybrids and plug-in EVs, and their required infrastructures.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to describe environmental and economic policies that promote as well as discourage the use of EVs.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to explore the interaction of EVs with other alternative transportation models, including car sharing, autonomous vehicles and hydrogen-powered vehicles.
