Plugged In and Predictable: Maximizing EV Charging Programs

As electric vehicles scale, EV charging will increasingly impact grid operations—accounting for up to 10-20% of peak demand on residential feeders in high-penetration areas. While EVs represent significant load flexibility potential, their mobile nature, diverse charging behaviors, and localized impacts create unique challenges for utilities. 

Utilities are launching behavioral and automated programs to manage EV load. Combining meaningful incentives with sophisticated EV detection, PSE&G has achieved impressive results for their behavioral program—including 91% off-peak charging participation among over 21,000 enrolled customers. 

Join the working group to learn: 

• How PSE&G and other utilities are managing EV charging load with automated and behavioral programs.
• Strategies for navigating the “Three C’s” of EV programs: Customer, Car, and Charger. 
• Best practices for detecting, targeting, and enrolling EV owners to maximize program impact.
