Partnership •Ride-and-Drive Events •Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program •Partnerships New Efforts and Programs •Enhance Current Programs •Residential Level 2 Charger Loan Program •Rebate For Public and Workplace Charging. •Specialized EV Rate for Fleet •Dealership Incentive Program •EV Car-Sharing Pilot Project What If… we had 25K, 50K or 75K EVs by 2030? •Annual Energy Increase is Fairly Small –About 25 aMW (~10% increase) for 75K EV. •Peak Energy is the Issue –Over 2x peak increase impacting energy, transmission and distribution. •Location -Distribution may be more/less impacted depending on geographic distribution of EVs – more capacity in SE Eugene than West. •Strategies to Shape Load are Key –Price signals can help manage demand impacts by incentivizing charging at night. •Time is on Our Side –Can adapt and plan with targets in mind, but need to start looking at strategies to address potential peak issues.
