This presentation discusses preparing customers and utilities for electric vehicle adoption. It covers empowering customers through education on choosing electric vehicles and home charging options. Utilities must ensure grid resiliency and efficiency to handle increased electric loads from electric vehicles. The presentation emphasizes notifying utilities during the electric vehicle purchase process so they can help customers choose rates and check if grid infrastructure needs upgrades.

6. C. ROBERT ANDERSON
The first "horseless carriages," as these
vehicles were known as in the 18th and 19th
centuries, were propelled by steam, which
was the high-tech propulsion method of its
day. However, the idea of making a carriage
that was driven by electricity originated with
a Scottish inventor named Robert Anderson,
who built a crude battery-propelled carriage
sometime between 1832 and 1839.

9. Why does Lance Armstrong prefer
to ride his bike behind electric cars?
A. He gets energized by
the magnetic field
B. He owns stock in a
battery manufacturing
company
C. He prefers electric cars
for a pace car
D. He’s tired of breathing
toxic fumes

10. D. He’s tired of breathing toxic fumes
Mr. Armstrong likes electric cars so much
that he was the first person to receive a
Nissan LEAF . He even made a commercial
for Nissan where he talks about how much
better it would be to ride behind EVs.

14. Business Customers
1. RESEARCH electric vehicle charging
• www.sce.com/EV4Business: charging information, rate
and metering options
• Third party websites: Charging equipment &
installers/electrical contractors
2. EVALUATE your charging needs
• Contact SCE to discuss your proposed charging
installation plans (customized rate analysis, evaluation
of energy management program, non-SCE funding
programs) Contact your SCE Account Representative
or call 1-800-990-7788
• Obtain estimates for metering options reviewed with SCE and discuss local permits required
for charging equipment installation
3. FINALIZE Your Charging Plans
•Select your charging equipment and confirm installation location(s), costs and timeline
•Contact SCE to confirm rate selection and metering changes
14

15. Planning Your Deployment
1. How much charging do you plan to provide?
• Numbers of vehicles being charged; number of charging stations you expect to install
• Charging level (How many L2, L1)
2. Where do you plan to locate the chargers?
• Location of existing electrical service equipment
• Building and safety requirements, ADA compliance
3. What are your management and administrative considerations?
• Procurement, installation, cost recovery, maintenance
• Monitoring and safety (lighting, shelter, security patrols or cameras, cord management)
4. What are the estimated equipment and installation costs?
• Charging equipment and installation (potential upgrades for electrical service and
metering)
• Federal, state, and local funding opportunities

21. Grid Resiliency and Efficiency
It is important that EV adopters notify their utilities about new charging
locations in a timely manner
Untimely notification of the utility could
overload or damage…
• Transformers and secondaries
• Wires and conductors
• Service drops
…which may cause grid instabilities
Generation
(Power Source)
• Power outages and voltage drops
Transmission
• Damage to homes and equipment
Distribution

22. EVs introduce significant household load

23. Charging everyone’s electric car at the
same time will cause brownouts and
blackouts because the grid can’t handle it.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
23

24. B. FALSE
Charging an electric car doesn't take more
power than a couple big screen TVs, and
there are more TVs out there than electric
cars for the foreseeable future without
problems for the electric grid. Also, most
electric cars will be charged at night when
there is a surplus of generation capacity on
the grid, and their progressive adoption by
consumer will give more than enough time for
utilities to adapt.

25. Please Contact Your Utility
In closing, please contact your utility during the purchase process of
your EV, so the utility can:
• Inform you about your home fueling and
help you select the most cost-effective
options
• Check local grid infrastructure to ensure
safe, reliable power delivery
