How 16 metros are getting ready for EVs
Saturday, May 5, 2012 Posted by Mark Thomason at 10:45 AM 2 commentsOne of the best resources for a city/metro to learn about EV Readiness is Project Get Ready by the Rocky Mountain Institute. They've been behind the transition to EVs for many years and they've created a list of best practices (Menu) based on new research and lessons learned from the prior launch of EVs in the 90s.
Project Get Ready was a big help for my hometown (Orlando) to jumpstart our readiness program starting in 2009, and it's worked pretty good so far - we've got about 100 EVs on the road that I know of (65 Volts, 30 Leafs, 10 Fiskers, and a few Teslas) being supported by nearly 150 public EVSE funded in part by ChargePoint America.
Project Get Ready just released a new case study of 16 metros (see below) around the world. It's an easy read and informs you of each area's status, incentives, and current initiatives. You can download the full report here: http://www.rmi.org/project_get_ready. Success favors the informed and prepared!
