Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Overview

We are an early-stage startup focused on creating a cleaner future for our people and lands by developing sustainable technologies.

The electrification of the transportation sector underway leads us to look ahead to develop smart and innovative vehicle charging technologies that will support the transition and decarbonization of our cities.

As V2G technology rolls out, a concern is the lack of a standard bi-directional EV charging protocols as well as the lack of standard/compatible charging connectors. Currently, only a handful of EVs support V2G and bidirectional DC charging, and only a few EVs currently feature V2H technology.

Main goal

To create a project plan for building the new electric charging systen with a timeline and budget.

This is a very exciting opportunity because the top project will be presented to our financial partnerships to seek funding that will enable the building of the charging system.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Desired Deliverables

The project can be in the form of a report or presentation

  • Build a charging system with Level II (240v, 40A) universal charging capability.
  • Provide a charging infrastructure that is bi-directional energy capable (e.g. be able to supply power to vehicles' batteries and draw power from vehicles' batteries)
  • Be able to supply continuous variable energy
  • Integrate a real-time capacity, such as but not limited to, an artificial intelligence adjustment of power supplied to and from connected vehicles, based on real-time building power demand allowance.
  • Be able to provide real-time analytics such as the flow of energy, the consumption of energy, and real-time projections
  • Supports future firmware/software development toward advanced bi-directional energy exchange functions.
  • The reasoning behind the technologies chosen.

Bonus Goals

  • Provide alternative designs / solutions that meet or exceed given criteria
  • Build a MVP
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students can connect directly with one of us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Current technology understanding
  • Reference material
  • Any technical support or background information

We will start with a kick-off to meet with the students, set goals, and make them feel part of our startup. We can schedule 1:1 weekly Zoom meetings and will be available over email for additional questions.
