Content: Utility investments in an EV future
To keep up with a growing demand for electric cars, utility companies across the United States have started investing in electric vehicle infrastructure. Here are a few utility companies who are working hard to improve the accessibility of EV chargers for their customers. Eversource: $45 million investment in EV charging
In August 2018, Eversource of Massachusetts committed to a $45 million EV charging investment. Over the course of five years, Eversource plans to implement over 400 charging stations at businesses in their service area across the state. With this program, businesses hosting charging stations will own the infrastructure and can choose whether to require payment for charging or offer it for free to drivers. Either way, there are a number of benefits to businesses installing electric car chargers on their property. For example, chargers can incentivize people to visit the business or an employee benefit for business workers who own an electric car. Southern California Edison: Charge Ready pilot program
Southern California Edison (SCE), one of the largest utility companies in California, started an EV charging pilot program two years ago.
