About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the lead instructor for the Executive Certificate in Electric Vehicle Charging Network Optimization for Zoos. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this unique course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been passionate about sustainability and renewable energy. I noticed a growing need for experts who can optimize EV charging networks, especially in unique settings like zoos. This course is a direct response to that demand, designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to create efficient, user-friendly EV charging solutions. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Can you share any current industry trends related to this field? GUEST: Of course. We're seeing a significant increase in the adoption of electric vehicles, which means there's a growing need for charging infrastructure. Additionally, there's a shift towards more sustainable and renewable energy sources, which we cover extensively in the course. HOST: That must present some challenges. What are some obstacles you've encountered or seen in this field? GUEST: One of the main challenges is the need for standardization across different EV models and charging stations. Additionally, ensuring that the electrical grid can support the increased demand for power is a significant consideration. HOST: Interesting. Looking towards the future, where do you see this industry heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see widespread adoption of electric vehicles, which will require a robust and optimized charging network. I also think we'll see more integration with renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights and for all the work you're doing to promote sustainability in the zoo industry and beyond. It's been a pleasure having you on the show. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure discussing this important topic with you.
