EV Adoption: Accelerating the Transition in the Northeast

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

9:00 AM – 9:50 AM ET

Location: 051, BCEC

For car buyers and business owners, 'going electric’ is a big decision that requires upfront investment and commitment to shifting how vehicles are used to get the return on investment to justify all the hard work required to make the change pencil out. Yes, rate design innovations and affordable charging infrastructure is critical to making the change work in the big picture, but there is still a lot of consumer education work needed to do make ‘going electric’ as straightforward as possible. This session will investigate how the energy community can support the dealers and manufacturers selling these vehicles, and the lawmakers dedicating tax dollars to support the transition so we can accelerate consumer adoption as quickly as these new vehicles can get to 60 MPH!
