Electric Transportation

Delivering a successful utility EV program, whether focused on adoption or managed charging, requires coordination across several different stakeholders, including the utility, utility vendors, and OEMs. Often, car dealerships are ignored due to their unique structure and their relatively new engagement with utility programs. This session will discuss specific barriers car dealerships face within the transition to EVs and strategies utilities can use to engage dealerships and potentially smooth the EV buying experience.
