DESCRIPTION:California is rapidly transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) 
 as part of its efforts to decarbonize the transportation sector. However\,
  the state is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events\, including wild
 fires\, floods\, and earthquakes. Between 2017 and 2019\, more than one mi
 llion residents were ordered to evacuate due to wildfires alone. Such larg
 e-scale emergencies can disrupt the power grid\, causing blackouts that\nl
 imit EV charging availability. In the worst-case scenario\, insufficient c
 harging infrastructure and limited access to power could hinder the safe e
 vacuation of EV users\, particularly in situations requiring rapid departu
 re. This highlights the urgent need for robust planning strategies to inte
 grate EVs into emergency response frameworks.\n\nThis talk will first intr
 oduce decision-aid tools designed to assist communities and government off
 icials in planning EV-based evacuations. Our tool provides recommendations
  for mobile charging placement\, congestion-aware routing\, and recharging
  strategies aimed at minimizing evacuation time. The second part of the pr
 esentation will focus on fast EV charging strategies during emergencies. T
 hese strategies are designed to reduce charging time while ensuring electr
 o-chemical and thermal safety of battery-based EVs.\n\nSpeaker(s): Assista
 nt Professor Dr. Ricardo de Castro\n\nAgenda: \nFriday\, March 28\, 2025\n
