Description

Check out this video to watch the New Charging Technologies for New Jersey.

New Jersey is embarking on developing and deploying bi-directional charging* programs. During this talk, Gil will cover the latest projects from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and what is expected as a result.

*Bi-directional charging for electric vehicles (EVs) allows for two-way power flow: it not only draws electricity from the grid to charge the EV’s battery but also enables the EV to supply power back to the grid or other devices when needed.

Gil Botham, Speaker

After receiving a Master's Degree in Environmental Economics from the University College London and a Bachelors in Environmental Science from Loyola University Chicago, Gil works extensively with economic modeling and policy compliance. With his most recent experience in state policy to support the zero-emission medium and heavy-duty sector, Gil looks to develop markets and strategies to meet New Jersey’s emission goals. Utilizing his background with the US Census Bureau, Loyola's Biodiesel Lab, and the UN Environmental Programme, Gil seeks to create a more perfect union between policy makers and executors of our environmental vision.
