How I work
Your subject matter expert for charging infrastructure
I embed as the expert on your team — setting the requirements, right-sizing the build, and staying with you through delivery. No jargon, no surprises.
Define the functional needs
First we establish what your operation actually has to do — vehicles, duty cycles, sites, and goals — so every decision traces back to a real requirement.
Right-size the infrastructure
Then we evaluate and right-size what truly needs to be installed for operations to succeed — enough to perform, without over-building or surprises.
Support the full lifecycle
From there I stay alongside you through every stage of the project, across all areas of your charging requirements — procurement, design, commissioning, and operations.
About
Senior expertise from the front line of EV charging
Arc Consulting is led by Derek Oppedisano, an engineer who has spent the last several years building and leading one of North America's most respected EV charging solutions teams.
That work has spanned the full spectrum of charging. Derek has advised Fortune 500 companies on their electrification plans — evaluating charging needs and shaping the infrastructure strategy behind large commercial fleets — and brings many years of experience in the public transit sector, helping agencies plan and deliver the charging that keeps electric bus fleets running.
Along the way he scaled teams and programs from the ground up, set the standards and best practices behind the work, and brought new charging products and services to market. Arc Consulting puts that same experience — and a straightforward, client-first approach — to work on your project.
- Fortune 500 commercial fleets & public transit agencies
- Depot, commercial, and public charging across North America
- M.Eng. Leadership in Clean Energy Engineering
- B.A.Sc. in Engineering
