NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PSE&G is joining
with other leading utilities in the newly launched National
Electric Highway Coalition, to support development of a national
network of electric vehicle chargers.
PSE&G is working to align utilities in New Jersey in the planning and siting of
fast-charging stations across utility service areas in addition to
coordinating with utilities in neighboring states.
Through the recently approved Clean Energy Future – Electric
Vehicle program, PSE&G will support the installation of 45,000
electric vehicle chargers throughout the utility's service
territory, with 3,000 of those chargers providing fast-charging
services along New Jersey's major
highways.
"Membership in this coalition helps PSE&G build stronger
relationships with our fellow utilities, which will lead to a
seamless and reliable charging experience for electric vehicle
owners," PSE&G Renewables and Energy Solutions Vice President
Karen Reif said. "To alleviate
what's been called 'range anxiety,' we want to ensure drivers have
access to a charger wherever they are in New Jersey or across the region."
The Clean Energy Future – Electric Vehicle program is designed
to support the deployment of electric vehicle chargers across a
wide range of customers and sectors including Residential,
Mixed-Use and Public DC Fast Charging. This program offsets the
cost of make ready infrastructure needed to operate electric
vehicle chargers.
Organized by Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the Coalition is a
national group that combines several regional coalitions.
The PSE&G electric vehicle program is a component of PSEG's
Powering Progress vision for a future where customers use less
energy, the energy they use is cleaner, and that energy is
delivered more reliably than ever.
