Charging Ahead With Ev Analytics

Charging Ahead with EV Analytics: Adopting a Flexible Approach to IoT Infrastructure for EV Integration,” commissioned by SAS and Intel, delves into the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market and its profound implications for the electricity industry. Authored by Stuart Ravens, Principal Research Analyst, the document targets utilities, energy providers, and other stakeholders involved in the e-mobility ecosystem. It highlights that the widespread adoption of EVs presents both significant opportunities for new load growth and considerable threats, particularly concerning grid strain in constrained areas. The report underscores that the integration of EVs is fundamentally a digitization project, heavily reliant on Internet of Things (IoT) devices and robust analytics platforms. It details various evolving EV-related business models and stresses the necessity for utilities to embed analytics throughout the EV ecosystem, involve IT early in planning, adopt flexible technology infrastructure, and incorporate forecasting and predictive analytics into their strategies.
