#### **What You'll Learn:** 

1. **Underestimating Power Requirements: “It all starts with power”**   
   Most fleet operators assume their local utilities can easily power their site. However, as your EV fleet grows, the increased power demand can lead to significant delays and additional costs. Proper planning and evaluation of power requirements are crucial to avoid costly surprises.
2. **Assuming Your Current Site Can Support Long-Term Needs**  
   Some sites need more power to support long-term fleet electrification plans, making it more cost-effective to identify and develop a new facility from scratch. We'll be sure to show you how to evaluate this upfront before we plan your infrastructure.
3. **Lack of a Managed Site Solution**  
   Installing a charger is just the beginning! Most EV fleet providers are installing chargers and hoping for the best. This section will cover why managed sites offering real-time repair and maximizing uptime are essential, especially for fleet operators needing more extensive internal support resources. This new and proactive management minimizes downtime and enhances overall efficiency.
4. **Inadequate Long-Term Planning**  
   EV fleets require a different approach than traditional fleets. Developing a long-term plan that leverages modern technology ensures the infrastructure can support future needs and advancements, avoiding the pitfalls of outdated technology.
5. **High Upfront Costs**  
   Custom-built and leased sites can be more cost-effective in the long run. Leasing options provide financial flexibility and mitigate the overwhelming upfront costs of building and maintaining EV charging sites.
6. **Proper Battery Sizing and Bus Specifications (Gillig)**  
   Gillig, a leading bus manufacturer, will cover the importance of proper battery sizing and bus specifications before ordering. They will also discuss the need for an adequate timeline to ensure infrastructure is in place before the fleet is delivered. This ensures that the buses are ready for operation as soon as they arrive, avoiding delays and additional costs.
7. **Lessons Learned from EV Fleet Migration (Stanford University)**  
   Stanford University will share their experiences and lessons from their EV fleet migration. They will discuss their approach, challenges, and strategies to transition to an electric fleet successfully. This session will provide valuable insights for organizations planning their EV fleet migration.

#### **Don’t Miss Out on This Opportunity to Lead the Charge in Bus Fleet Electrification!**
