Utility Execs Ponder the Electric Car Future at EV Roadmap Conference
The Portland Business Journal covered the recent EV Roadmap conference, where KCP&L’s Chuck Caisley spoke on the topic of electrified transportation.
“Transportation is the last non-electrified part of the economy, and the great news is that without any new technology, 80 percent to 90 percent of the charging can be done when we have capacity on our system and plenty of generation,” Caisley said. “The more we use electricity and pay for the grid without building it out more, the cheaper electricity is for everybody, and the cleaner it is for everybody.”
