Scaling Electrification: Early Deployment Lessons and the Road Ahead

As utilities work to scale transportation and residential electrification, early deployments are providing critical insights into what it takes to move from pilot programs to broad adoption. In this session, Itron will share lessons learned from an EV fleet deployment in New York, highlighting key successes, operational challenges, and considerations related to charging infrastructure, customer participation, and grid impacts. PG&E will discuss its residential electrification initiatives and perspectives on supporting customer adoption at scale. Together, the speakers will explore the path to scale, examining the lessons emerging from initial deployments, the barriers utilities must overcome, and strategies for expanding electrification programs across diverse service territories.
