A new plan outlines steps to be ready for up to 1 million plug-in hybrid and battery-powered cars by 2020. The report was unveiled at Universal Studios Hollywood where Back to the Future’s electric car was first introduced 25 years ago.
The new plan, “Taking Charge: Establishing California Leadership in the Plug-In Electric Vehicle Marketplace,” was developed by an uncommon alliance and offers 30 suggested actions to build a successful electrified transportation system in California.
Key recommendations from the plan include:
■Simplify the process to get home charging stations installed quickly
■Develop solutions to enable charging at apartments and condos
■Structure electricity prices to encourage off-peak charging
■Increase consumer demand through education and awareness programs
■Develop new service industries to make charging a car easier than fueling at a gas station
■Encourage tech-based solutions (e.g. smart phone apps) to help drivers find existing public charging stations
■Ensure local governments help establish the strategic placement of a public charging network
■A full list can be found at www.pevcollaborative.org/strategic-pla
“We aim to address all the questions. It must be simple, simple, simple for consumers to choose plug-in electric vehicles,” added Wittenberg.
This plan will serve as a roadmap for developing a specific course of action. The Collaborative will support ongoing work and start up new efforts to address the 10 major recommendations in the report. The California Plug-In Electric Vehicle Collaborative endorses a systematic, customer-focused approach to creatively overcome challenges in this new California marketplace where consumers enthusiastically adopt clean, cutting-edge technologies.
