Residential Transportation Electrification
Bolster the efficiency and impact of TE programs end-to-end
As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to expand, utilities and energy agencies scaling residential transportation electrification (TE) programs can run into difficulties.
Provide a fully digitalized solution to support customer targeting, outreach, education, enrollment, and post-enrollment customer engagement. Successfully address challenges facing TE programs including charger installations/rebates, managed charging, and TOU rate enrollment. Gain insights and incentivize good charging behavior.
Common Residential Transportation Electrification Challenges
- Burdened customer service and energy program teams – TE inquiries and applications overwhelm utility staff.
- Delayed processing – Processing applications through email and spreadsheets leads to errors and backlogs.
- Reporting requirements – Tracking and missing deadlines can be frustrating and costly.
- No insight into future EV adoption – Outreach for EV programs and rate enrollment is difficult and grid instability is a risk.
Commercial Transportation Electrification
Simplify complex commercial program workflows
Commercial EV charger adoption is accelerating among multi-family properties, workplaces and public charging sites. Utilities and energy agencies can experience operational difficulties as they attempt to meet customer demand.
The complexity of make-ready programs—spanning feasibility to energization—demands a quick-to-deploy, scalable and flexible solution to address challenges impacting program success.
Common Commercial Transportation Electrification Challenges
- Too many speculative project inquiries – Commercial customers and installers overwhelm staff, including engineers, with inquiries and site feasibility requests.
- Application backlog – Incomplete and incorrect make-ready project applications prolong project timelines. Manual email and spreadsheet tracking further burdens staff.
- Reporting requirements – Complex regulatory reporting can cause bottlenecks and missed deadlines can be expensive.
- Reduced productivity – Program data residing in multiple utility systems can cause double-data entry errors and hassle.
