3. Why Managed Charging?
• EVs adoption is at an inflection point
• Wide range of Pickups, SUVs, passenger cars, MHD & HD fleet
vehicles coming 2021-2022
• Utilities care about managing downside risk
• Clustering on the distribution system or peak impacts can be addressed by
managing this new load
• It is much harder to change set behavior than to start fresh with good habits
• Important to start building a program today to stay ahead of downsides and
accelerate the upsides
• EVs bring large benefits to utilities
• Benefits for customers and utilities grow when charging is managed

9. How to build a managed
charging program
• Utility Board & Leadership team buy-in is crucial
• Utility peers growing TE programs are great allies
• Customers benefits + growing utility revenue
• Increased revenue helps customers with
potential downward rate pressure
• What barriers do you face?
• Let’s discuss them
• We can help
