Based on recently updated electric vehicle (EV) forecasts, electricity consumption will grow from a few terawatt-hours (TWh) a year in 2017 to around 118 TWh by 2030 (Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance). While utilities have proven their ability to adapt and innovate, the findings of our latest EV report show many utilities may be unprepared for this sudden change in load growth. The information and tools in this report will help utilities and their partners find a path forward.

SEPA members can access the dataset by clicking here and logging in to the EStore. This dataset includes the list of utilities included in the analysis, the total number of programs and activities identified by stage for each utility, and the identified utility stage.

A utility vehicle (UV) is a vehicle, generally motorized, that is designed to carry out a specific task with more efficacy than a passenger vehicle. It sometimes refers to a small truck with low sides.[1]

Military light utility vehicle, or simply light utility vehicle, (LUV), is a term used for the lightest weight class military vehicle category.[1] A Jeep-like four-wheel drive vehicle for military use[2] by definition lighter than other military trucks and vehicles, inherently compact and usually with light or no armour, with short body overhangs for nimble all-terrain mobility, and frequently around 4-passenger capacity.

Traditionally, these are vehicles similar to a station wagon, but built on a light-truck chassis and equipped with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive amongst other off-road hardware. Their primary purpose is to display superior off-road and towing capabilities, with higher seating capacity.

Station wagons based on a car chassis, but built to resemble sport utility vehicles. They have limited off-road capability but sportier on-road behavior than SUVs. May also be referred to as a "Sports Activity Vehicle", as is the case with BMW's X-range of vehicles.

Utility trucks, (known as pickup trucks in the US) are similar to Coup utilities. The main difference being that they are either built specifically for purpose or based upon Sports utility vehicles rather than being produced by modifying existing passenger vehicles. They combine elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.

The Side-by-side (SxS), also known as utility task vehicle (UTV), is small four-wheel off-road vehicle. It has a side-by-side seating arrangement, and UTVs often have seat belts, roll-over protection and a storage box at the rear of the vehicle.

RPU customers have an opportunity to charge their electric vehicles using a separate Time-of-Use (TOU) meter provided by RPU. Eligible customers can receive up to a $805 rebate to cover the cost of the EV meter adapter installation, in addition to, incentives available for the EV Level 2 Residential Charger Rebate.

A plug-in electric vehicle is a vehicle that can be plugged into an electrical outlet or charging device to recharge its battery. There are two types: battery electric vehicles, which run only on electricity, and plug-in hybrids, which run mainly or solely on electricity until the battery is depleted and then are powered by an internal combustion engine.

A battery electric vehicle is fueled only by electricity, essentially replacing gasoline, diesel or other types of combustible fuels. It is purely electric, utilizing an electric motor to propel itself. A battery electric vehicle must plug in to a power source to recharge its battery.

A parallel hybrid uses both a combustion engine and an electric motor to deliver power to the wheels. The use of these two forms of power varies from vehicle to vehicle: the vehicle can be powered by just the electric motor, just the combustion engine, or a combination of both depending on driving conditions.

A series hybrid is directly powered only by the electric motor. The combustion engine is only used to recharge the battery, acting as an electric generator that converts gasoline to electricity. The three are aligned in-series: the combustion engine, then the electric motor, then the wheels. The market has commonly termed this as an extended-range electric vehicle because of its similarity to an all-electric battery electric vehicle, with the exception of using gasoline to "extend" its range.

Yes, public charging stations are located in supermarket parking lots, city garages, gas stations and many other locations across the country. Some public charging stations are free and others require a fee or membership.

Additionally, much of the electricity Riverside Public Utilities provides comes from sources that are either renewable or emit no greenhouse gases. That's why by choosing to drive an electric vehicle, you are helping to reduce pollution.

Lower Maintenance Costs: The electrical components of plug-in electric vehicles require little to no regular maintenance due to far less moving parts. In hybrids, this leads to less wear and tear of gasoline components.

Rebates & Tax Credits: Many government agencies and local and regional entities offer incentives to encourage the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles. Check out additional resources and incentives available under the Other Program Incentives & Resources section.

The electricity generated from a solar generating system could help offset the costs of electricity used to charge an electric vehicle. The net effect of the solar generating system will depend on the system's efficiency, the weather, the amount of energy used to charge the vehicle and other factors. Learn more about solar.

Additional rebates available to City of Riverside residents who purchase or lease a qualified new alternative fuel vehicle from an auto dealership within the City. View program guidelines for more information.

Administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy for the California Air Resources Board, the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) provides rebates of up to $7,000 for the purchase or lease of new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Administered by the CARB, this program is for low-income customers only and provides grants of up to $5,000 for the purchase or lease a new or used hybrid or electric vehicle. Can be combined with the CVRP too.

If you drive a pure zero-emission vehicle (100% battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell), you may be eligible for a Special Access account on the 91 express lanes.Vehicles displaying a current DMV-issued CAV sticker may be eligible for a 15% discount on the I-10 and I-110 Metro Expresslane.

For registration purposes, trailer (manufactured or homemade) means every vehicle with or without motive power, other than a pole trailer, designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by a motor vehicle.

If you purchase a new vehicle in this category, you must follow registration and or titling procedures applicable to new vehicles. As noted above, trailers (manufactured or homemade) and semi-trailers weighing less than 2,500 lbs. must be registered but are exempt from titling; if a trailer weighs more than 2,500 lbs. (unladen) it must be titled.

The Rule for On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel-Fueled Public and Utility Fleets was approved in 2005 to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions from fleets operated by public agencies and utilities (PAU). The rule mandates affected owners to equip their affected vehicles with the Best Available Control Technology by December 31, 2012.

Records may be kept in a centralized location or at the terminal where the vehicle resides. Records must be made available upon request while the vehicle operates in California. Other records such as vehicle compliance labeling must be kept in the vehicle. Sample record keeping forms may be found at PAU Compliance Tools.
