TablE 1. Summary of North american utility EV infrastructure programs.
Utility

Charging Infrastructure Actions

Avista (WA)

US$3.1 million pilot. Rate-based installation, ownership, and operation of 265 L2 ports (120 homes,
~50 workplaces, and 23 public locations) plus seven DCFC ports. Provide market education. Experiment
with non-time-of-use demand response.

PG&E (CA)

US$130 million pilot filing approved. Rate-based preparations of 7,500 stations at MUDs and
workplaces and in disadvantaged communities. Can own up to 35% (2,625) at MUDs and in disadvantaged communities; otherwise tiered rebates to site host. No DCFC. Provide market education.

SCE (CA)

US$22 million pilot program started in May 2016. Includes rate base of 1,500 stubs in long-dwell
locations; provide rebates on stations and market education.

SDG&E (CA)

US$45 million pilot filing approved. Rate base of 3,500 stations at 350 MUDs and workplaces. Provide
market education. Day-ahead pricing reflects circuit conditions and hourly system and commodity prices.

HECO (HI)

25 DCFC operated for five years. HECO owns and operates.

Consumers (Ml)

US$15 million; 810 chargers: 60 DCFC and 750 L2 stations; US$1,000 incentive for home L2.

Ameren (MS)

US$0.6 million. Installing 6 DCFC along I-70, 25-45 mi apart. Drivers pay directly.

KCP&L (KS)

US$20 million shareholder funds. Own, operate, and maintain 1,000 charging stations. No cost to host
for installation or drivers for electricity for two years. Asking for cost recovery in parallel.

IPL (IN)

US$12 million filing. Approved for $3 million for distribution upgrades in public interest.

LG&E and KU (KY)

Filed for 20 stations, ten per utility. Station users or requestors pay full cost of charging stations, including maintenance, installation, and energy use. Two new EV rates.

Georgia Power (GA)

US$12 million for community DCFC and L2 charging for residential, business, multifamily, outreach, and
fleet. Provides US$250 home/500 commercial rebate and marketing education campaign.

Hydro-Québec

Le Circuit de Electrique. L2 (740) and DCFC (60) installation with site hosts partners.

L2: level 2; HECO: Hawaiian Electric; KCP&L: Kansas City Power and Light Company; IPL: Indianapolis Power and Light Company; LG&E: Louisville Gas and Electric; KU: Kentucky Utilities.

customers across five utility service territories: Georgia
Power (Southern Company), SCE, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), CenterPoint (Houston), and CPS Energy (San Antonio). Customers across the utilities expected their utility to
play a strong role in EV charging infrastructure.
For starters, the TVA survey's two key findings were:
a large percentage expect their utility to develop public
charging (59%) and offer at-home charging installation
services (52%) [10], and a substantial proportion see
that role extended to providing information to potential buyers about PEVs and offering PEV readiness
audits [10]. Customers in Atlanta thought similarly [11].
A large percentage expect their utility to develop public
charging (61%) and offer at-home charging installation
services (57%) [11]. Also, a substantial proportion see
that role extended to providing information to potential buyers [11].
The perspective of Southern California customers was
captured in the EPRI report Electric Vehicles: Characterizing
Consumers' Interest and Infrastructure Expectations [12]. The
five main highlights of this report were:
1) Virtually all respondents indicated that they expected
to charge their PHEV primarily at home [12].
2) Almost two-thirds of respondents indicated that they
had a conventional (120 V) outlet within 25 ft of where
they park at home [12].
