The program is part of a wave of EV charging rollouts utilities are spearheading in an effort to spur EV adoption. Utilities spy opportunity in the increased electric sales and higher system utilization, potentially helping to lower costs for all customers.
AEP’s Ohio pilot is forward looking, acting both to expand infrastructure and gather data. And like many other utility programs, it is focused on driving the development of publicly available charging stations, which will be critical to electrified transportation’s success.
