Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Pilot

Avista launched its Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) pilot in 2016, with the main objectives of understanding (1) light-duty electric vehicle (EV) load profiles, grid impacts, costs, and benefits, (2) how the utility may better serve all customers in the electrification of transportation, and (3) begin to support early EV adoption in its service territories. Avista had three objectives for this report:

• Provide a comprehensive overview of the EVSE pilot’s intent and activities
• Present detailed findings and lessons learned
• Lay the groundwork for effective future programs
