EV charging stations can help retailers pull in customers who will spend time and money at their location. But businesses need data to determine which sites will bring the best returns.   That's why Transportation Energy Institute and CSE have launched the Charging Analytics Program (CAP). CAP subscribers in the U.S. and Canada will get insights on when, where and how EV chargers are being used based on the latest aggregated data. Reports and interactive maps will help site hosts fine-tune their strategy for successfully entering the EV charging market.   CAP informs policy and site host decisions by: ·        Logging more than 2 million charging events each month. ·        Identifying when and where to invest in EV charging. ·        Analyzing the economic value of the EV charging customer.

Congratulations to the City of Calipatria and Comite Civico Del Valle, Inc. on the installation of new EV fast chargers in the Imperial Valley. CCV is the first community-based organization to meet all the requirements of the state’s CALeVIP Golden State Priority Project to help fund EV infrastructure. The project is administered by Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE). CCV Executive Director Luis Olmedo: “We are committed to making sure that rural and underserved communities are not left behind in the transition to electric vehicles.” California Energy Commission's Patricia Monahan: “Our hope is that greater access to EV chargers like these will encourage more EV adoption in the Valley, saving drivers money on fuel and maintenance costs while helping clean the air.”

U.S. EV adoption is nearing 10% of new light-duty vehicle sales, but achieving #EV adoption levels that will move the needle on greenhouse gas reduction goals will require more state action, including effective incentives. CSE's Vartan Badalian outlines how states can overcome adoption challenges and promote EV adoption. https://lnkd.in/g2q2tXuN

Educating consumers about electric vehicles starts with dealerships. Read more on how the ElectrifiQ program will help one Florida dealership's sales staff to confidently answer consumer questions about EVs and help consumers navigate the ever-evolving landscape of EVs.

Community-based organizations (CBOs) can be game-changers in the mission to empower individuals to adopt solar, EVs and other sustainable technologies. What's critical to collaborating with CBOs? Relationship-building, training, compensation and impact measurement. CSE's Luzita Lutfi shares ways program administrators can work with CBOs to design, implement and evaluate clean energy and transportation programs that are centered on community priorities. https://lnkd.in/gm7yq2gw
