Utilities play an important role in the future growth of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and in managing the potential strain that charging stations can have on the electric grid. While many states are exploring how utilities can support clean energy goals by incentivizing EV charging infrastructure, regulators and utilities must coordinate efforts to achieve both scale and equitable access. Stakeholders need to agree upon key regulatory issues, learn from actions taken by other jurisdictions, optimize costs, and establish a streamlined, transparent approval process for utility EV programs.

Attend this timely webinar to hear how regulators and utilities can coordinate efforts to facilitate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure, including:

  • State and local goals, mandates, and regulations relating to EV infrastructure
  • Lessons learned and best practices for setting up and expanding incentives and programs
  • Rate design, demand response, and time-of-use issues
  • Developing and implementing EV charging education and outreach efforts
  • Understanding managed charging and other grid mitigation strategies
  • Reporting and data collection to help shape future program design
  • Pros and cons of make-readies and the ownership model, and when to use each
  • Stacking incentives and leveraging outside funding with third party aggregators

The webinar will close with a 15-minute audience Q&A session including all participants.
