Gas Emissions by Economic Sector - This graph displays the breakdown of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
economic sector. GHG emissions from the transportation sector increased 23.3% from 1990 to 2018. This growth
contrasts with the electricity sector, which was the highest-emitting sector until transportation surpassed it in 2017.
Transportation emissions have also increased from 23.7% of total emissions to 28.2%, the largest percentage
increase of any sector. The industry sector saw the greatest emissions reductions from 1990 to 2018, down 9.7%.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Lessons Learned
• Start early on EVERYTHING​, know
where are you are heading
• Interagency agreements and
approvals
• State environmental impact filings
• Understanding incentives and
applicable terms and conditions
• Differences between vehicles,
infrastructure and deployment
services
MANAGE PROCESS, PERMISSIONS & BUY-IN
MID-PROJECT CHANGES CAN BE EXPENSIVE
• Utility load letters right of way,
and service agreements
• DOT and city approvals, special
permits
• Building and electrical permits
(can expire!)
• Involve Facility & Energy
Managers from the beginning
​Public and Private Fleets have different sets of stakeholders

Growing Market & Business Model Choices
Fleets will have numerous choices to navigate across geographies and segments
COMPETITORS & POTENTIAL COLLABORATORS
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION
Financing Models
• Amortizing cost of grid
upgrades and onsite
infrastructure over a
longer period of time
• Leasing, PPA style
arrangements
Established Relationships
• Many long-term
commercial relationships
already in place
• Real estate, energy,
vehicle and other services
Shared Infrastructure
• Potential to share
investment across
multiple customers
• Opportunity to share the
grid-side and resilience
infrastructure across
multiple energy use cases
Speed to Market
• First mover advantages by
initiating the process for
building the infrastructure
and reserve capacity
• Earliest lessons learned
and ability to iterate on
model.
End Point Ownership
• Strategic locations
adjacent to markets and
where trucks are going
• Capacity utilization will be
higher at the end
Fleets In House
Have access to capital and can
build their own charging
infrastructure and have long
terms left on their lease
Traditional Fueling
Companies
Have established fueling
relationships and can provide
mid-point charging
Vehicle OEMs & Leasing
Companies
Providing the vehicle, and
potentially proprietary chargers
& charging service
Power Utilities
Grid upgrades and charging
infrastructure provided by
the local power utility
Energy Providers
New entrants power-related
to the field that are building
power related services &
infrastructure
