Abstract:

Americans purchased almost 18,000 plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in 2011, a strong first year for these innovative vehicles. Recently, government and private enterprises have invested valuable resources in promoting, developing, and deploying PEVs. These vehicles offer an unusual opportunity to address air quality, energy security, economic growth, and climate change. However, market growth is uncertain due to economic, technical and policy challenges; and it is possible that other advanced vehicle technology may prove to be more popular with consumers over time. There are steps that can be taken now, however, to address some of these challenges and ease adoption of PEVs nationwide. In this report, the PEV Dialogue Group lays out an action plan containing some of these critical steps needed to empower a robust and sturdy national PEV market. The plan recommends specific actions in four categories, as follows: (1) Create a Consistent Nationwide Regulatory Framework; (2) Optimize Private and Public Investments in Charging Infrastructure; (3) Facilitate PEV Rollout and Deployment; and (4) Educate Vehicle Consumers.
