Community EV Charging Network for Urban Residential Chicago Neighborhoods

Project Description

Developing educational tools on starting a community electric vehicle (EV) charge sharing network in urban residential neighborhoods of Chicago.

Project Goals

I hope to create a resource for Chicago residents to launch a community charge-sharing network where charging options are limited. I hope my research ultimately enables people to  set up and share electric vehicle charge stations at a low cost, accelerates EV adoption and visibility, and expands car charging options throughout the city.
