Progress EnergyElectric Transportation Update December 8, 2010 Christopher Gillman, Manager – Emerging Technologies
Overview • It all begins with the value proposition • Update of current initiatives • Our electric transportation roadmap
It All Begins With The Value Proposition • Societal benefits from the technology • Cost savings • Environmental • Energy independence • Economic development and job creation
Update Of Current Initiatives:Plug-In Electric Vehicles • As part of a national research effort with Ford, EPRI, Johnson Controls, SAFT, and partner utilities, Progress Energy is testing two Ford Escape PHEVs • We will receive 12 Chevy Volts in 2011 for research and demonstration purposes • Progress Energy will also showcase the Toyota Prius PHV technology as part of a US demonstration loan • We will further acquire and integrate into our fleet additional technologies such as the Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus EV, etc.
Our Electric Transportation Roadmap:How is Progress Energy Supporting Electric Transportation? • Progress Energy is partnering with our communities through Project Get Ready. • Advanced vehicle technologies are an important part of our balanced solution. • We are committed to developing the technology and infrastructure necessary to support the widespread usage of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). • Progress Energy is investing now to ensure that there are few obstacles to consumers when PEVs arrive. Vision Position plug-in electric vehicles to strengthen the Balanced Solution and fulfill the EEI pledge. Help develop infrastructure and technology necessary to support the widespread use of plug-in electric vehicles to help our customers save money and reduce their impact on the environment.
