I'm responsible for developing and implementing FLASH's energy strategy for our EV charging division to ensure we're maximizing the value of chargers for our clients, EV owners, utility companies and the electric grid. This includes load management, demand response, time-of-use pricing, low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) markets, and more. I also work on EV charging business development with a focus on incentives, rebates, RFPs and grants. Additionally, I'm building relationships with the utility industry to install chargers in mutually beneficial ways, expedite EV charger installations and improve the EV charging experience.FLASH has two major focal points - electric vehicle charging and parking management technology. We work with parking owners and asset operators in every major city in the US. We're building a national EV charging network by installing EV chargers for our clients in parking garages and lots across the country. By installing chargers where people already park for longer dwell periods, we're removing a major friction point from the current EV charging experience. We also have the ability to drive high charger utilization rates through our parking management software to maximize client investments. Our massive data set on parking and driving behaviors coupled with serious hardware and software capabilities uniquely positions FLASH to transform the EV charging and parking experience.
