As EV charging demand strains the electrical grid, property owners are looking beyond the utility meter for resilient power solutions. This week, we explore the world of microgrids and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Learn how integrating solar and on-site batteries can dramatically reduce your exposure to high demand charges, ensure your chargers stay operational during grid outages, and significantly enhance your property's sustainability profile and long-term value.

EV chargers are Internet-connected devices that sit at the intersection of customer data, payment processing, and the power grid—making them prime targets for cyberattacks. This week, we expose the main vulnerabilities in the EV charging ecosystem and provide a security blueprint. Learn best practices for defending your network, protecting sensitive data, and leveraging secure protocols like OCPP 2.0.1 to maintain integrity and compliance across your commercial properties.

Accessibility isn't just a compliance box to tick—it's essential for providing a functional service to every customer. This week, we dive into the critical requirements for building and managing ADA-compliant EV charging stations in commercial real estate and hospitality. Learn the specifics on space dimensions, accessible operable parts, and the necessary cord management systems required by the updated federal guidelines. Designing for accessibility minimizes legal risk and ensures your amenity truly serves all EV drivers.
