5 ways utilities can accelerate the EV revolution

Electric vehicles (EVs) can help utilities meet carbon-reduction goals, increase revenue, and position themselves as trusted energy advisers. Based on our work with utilities across the US and Canada, we’ve identified five barriers utilities face when implementing an EV strategy. Regardless of how far along utilities are on their EV journeys, utilities are asking these questions:

• What kinds of programs and services should they offer?
• Who are the likely buyers and how do utilities connect with them?
• How can utilities help target the right customers for EV offerings?
• Where are the localized impacts on the grid, and how do utilities mitigate risk by forecasting the potential new loads on the grid?
• When do utilities set up new internal technology platforms, and how do they select vendors to partner with?

We’ll offer suggestions for an EV strategy that balances customer needs with utility priorities. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how leading utilities have overcome these barriers by turning uncertainty into opportunity.
