- Build Adverse-Weather Return-to-Base (RTB) Plans: Design infrastructure planning for severe weather and contingency recalls, prototyping tools (such as an Overwatch-integrated dashboard) to monitor safe-parking capacity in real time during mass RTB events.
- Future-Proof Depot Infrastructure: Evaluate corrosion-resistant cabling standards, evaluate alternate charging connectors (e.g., NACS), scope automated vehicle inspection system integrations, and contribute to the long-term site build roadmap.
