Pilots, Programs & Partnerships Workshop
Pilots, Programs & Partnerships Workshop
Meeting clean transportation goals is a key force influencing state-level efforts to electrify transportation. States convey these clean transportation goals differently, and as a result, these goals impact the adoption and deployment of electrified transportation. Furthering state level transportation electrification goals ultimately requires a collaborative approach leveraging stakeholders and value stacking benefits. The first workshop on Consumers & Social Equity in Transportation Electrification laid the foundation through a social equity and consumer lens to ensure that the benefits of transportation electrification are shared equitably across all consumers. The second workshop on Transportation Electrification Infrastructure – Technology, Installation and Ownership expanded the knowledge foundation and stakeholder engagement to ascertain infrastructure challenges, opportunities and synergies for each of the four use cases. The next step is to identify synergies across stakeholders to advance electrification through potential pilots, programs and partnerships.
Pilot programs and demonstration projects that allow for partnerships across public and private sectors provide opportunities to gain valuable insights through testing, demonstrating and validating potential programs, and by developing mutually beneficial and collaborative relationships. A state-level plan encouraging collaboration across stakeholders including utilities offers opportunities for exploring a range of possible use cases and business models for transportation electrification. Subsequent monitoring, collecting and reporting of data from such pilots, programs and partnerships allows for the alignment of transportation electrification goals of the state with equitable distribution of services that more holistically respond to diverse consumer needs. A state level plan for transportation electrification should maintain safety with continued service, encourage utilities to capture value and efficiencies, and design rates to support consumer choice and load management.
