ProspectSV was responsible for knowledge transfer, convening working groups, and developing white papers, presentations, and reports to highlight project findings.

Funded by the California Energy Commission, this effort helped Alameda County develop and demonstrate a scalable, managed charging system at the Alameda County Garage in Oakland, California. The project aimed to minimize the energy expenses and grid impact of charging a large fleet of county-owned and personal plug-in electric vehicles. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory led the project, and project partners included Alameda County General Services Agency, ChargePoint, Kisensum, and ProspectSV.

Grant funding allowed us to develop a guidebook on EV fleets, Ready, Set, Charge, Fleets!: Preparing for Mass Deployment and the EV Cost of Ownership and Energy Management Tool for assessing costs of EV operation, maintenance, and charging.
