OSTI ID:381233
This article, a review of the pros and cons regarding incentives for electric vehicles and utility involvement in EV programs, is based upon research supported by the California Institute for Energy Efficiency. It centers on various regulatory actions in the state and examines the impact on and efforts by Southern Califrnia Edison and their involvement in EV programs. Load impacts and the associated costs are examined, as are rate impacts. One possibility for funding utility-based EV programs would be to impose a tax on `dirty vehicles` and use the revenues to fund a rebate for EVs and other cleaner vehicles. Utility managers and regulators who are reluctant to see higher electric rates from other utility incentives would do well to support this approach as a means to support the sale of cleaner vehicles.
