The Roadmap
This roadmap is part of a larger project called, "Charging Infrastructure Service Connection Simplification Resources" or CIISR for short. The ultimate aim is to help accelerate new EV service connections and improve transparency across the electric utility, small fleet, and multi-family housing (MFH) landscape.
By accelerating the EV service connections, we can achieve 3 key points:
- Improved EV service connection experiences, project time and process transparency.
- Better supported customers in their overall transportation electrification journey
- Increased visibility into fleet electrification and charging infrastructure planning that will help to inform the utility how to better plan for EV load growth.
There are 4 key deliverables associated with this project
- The grid connection roadmap (a ‘roadmap’ with solution ideas for streamlined EV service connections and small customer support)
- A framework to adapt GridFAST for small fleets - Summer 2025
- A website for small fleet customers - Summer 2025
- These are informed utility and customer research, captured in the research report
Project Team
The project team consists of EPRI as the project lead, ATE, IREC, Louisiana Clean Fuels, Metro Clean Cities and RMI.
- Another subset of clean cities, Omaha Public Power and National Grid make up the Advisory committee, in addition to the project team.
