EVA’s Andy Fraser to Moderate Key Panel on Energy Storage at EVCS 2026
Andy Fraser, Treasurer of the Electric Vehicle Association, will guide a panel of industry experts in a critical discussion about integrating energy storage systems with charging infrastructure.
We invite you to hear Andy and meet the EVA team at the Electric Vehicle Charging Summit & Expo (EVCS) on March 18-19 in Las Vegas.
Here’s what you’ll learn during Andy’s session along with the full lineup of speakers joining him.
Panel Spotlight: Integrating Energy Storage Systems and Charging Stations
Integrating energy storage systems with EV charging infrastructure is rapidly becoming a cornerstone strategy for sites seeking to reduce demand charges, accelerate deployment timelines, and unlock more resilient, flexible power solutions.
This session led by Andy at EVCS will explore how energy storage systems can bridge gaps in constrained grid environments. Panelists will also discuss how energy storage systems support fast-charging needs, and enable more predictable operating costs, all while strengthening reliability for fleets, public charging networks, and high-volume commercial sites.
Date: Thursday, March 19, 2026
Time: 12:50 PM – 1:35 PM
Session Description: Speakers will break down the technical, financial, and operational considerations that determine whether energy storage is the right fit, how to size and site systems effectively, and the role storage can play in future-ready charging hubs.
