Interest Group: Electric Transportation

Electric Transportation Interest Group


The PLMA Electric Transportation Interest Group addresses the growing popularity of electric transportation and its impacts on demand response, grid reliability, and beneficial electrification. Participants in this Interest Group's activities collaborate to develop a deeper understanding, and share best practices, on how utilities and vendors can most effectively work together. Through this Interest Group, PLMA member practitioners also gain knowledge from industry experts who address trends related to both electric transportation and to the infrastructure and data needs for deploying light- and heavy-duty electric fleets.
