EVs Help Streamline Operations, Cut Costs and Emissions
Market-minded business leaders are using electric vehicles and public charging infrastructure to streamline their operations, lower operating costs, attract new employees and customers, and improve brand value. EVs, fueled by domestic electricity, can lower fuel costs and associated CO2 emissions. Deploying charging stations at offices and retail locations may provide potential revenue streams and increase customer shopping time.
Understanding how your electric vehicle initiative supports your operating and environmental strategy, and developing an execution plan accounting for expected EV adoption rates among employees and customers, will be critical to capturing this new opportunity. As you consider buying EVs for your company fleet or investing in smart infrastructure to promote electric driving, GE can help design solutions that make sense for your business.
Important Considerations:
- How will adoption of EVs help you meet your business operational and environmental goals?
- How will you prioritize investment in electric vehicle infrastructure and locate charging stations to serve the greatest number of employees and customers?
- What steps will you take to ensure that your utility provider(s) have the capacity to support your desired electric vehicle infrastructure over the next five to ten years and beyond?
- Are there efficiency gains to be had by replacing outdated electrical distribution equipment while adding in EV chargers to your facilities?

-
Generation
Electricity comes from a mix of sources including natural gas, coal, hydro, nuclear, wind, and solar. Adoption of advanced fossil fuel generation technologies and increasing penetration of renewables can help lower the CO2 intensity of our power grid. -
Transmission & Distribution
Tens of thousands of miles of high-voltage power lines bring electricity to substations for local distribution and consumption. Smart Grid technologies including demand response and voltage optimization are improving the efficiency of our power lines. -
Businesses
Installing charging stations in office parking lots is essential to encouraging adoption of EVs among employees. Adding charging stations to retail parking lots can attract EV owners as customers and increase shopping times.
