Join IAMU as we roll out our EV Toolkit – the second of two EV webinars for the month of June!

For many years electric Vehicles (EVs) were a niche product – made for early adopters as smaller-sized vehicles for an even smaller sized market share. After a year of EV rollouts for new cars, sedans, SUVs, and trucks, it’s becoming increasingly clear that EVs are here to stay, and will continue to grow in market share. Both utilities and their customers can benefit by adapting to and effectively controlling EV-related load growth. Utilities will be able to realize increased revenue, improve reliability, and transition to energy resources that are poised to become increasingly cleaner. Customers will eventually save significant operational and maintenance costs associated with fossil fuel based vehicles.

While the future looks bright for EVs, there remain limited resources for municipal utilities to access. Developing, implementing, and managing in-house EV programs or managing qualified program consultants present numerous challenges. The tested tools and resources developed in this toolkit will be incredibly helpful to Municipal Utilities in Iowa. The toolkit includes:

• Planning tool/calculator with regional data through 2020
• Case study guide
• Sample social media posts and community engagement collateral
• More!

Join this webinar to learn more about these useful tools developed in partnership with APPA’s Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments Grant Program. DEED members can view raw versions of these tools on their DEED Project Library page.
