‘Workplace Charging Sells’ EVs

So says someone from EPRI, quoted on Navigant Research’s blog:

“Workplace charging sells vehicles,” said Mark Duvall, director of electric transportation and energy storage at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), in a recent phone interview.  Duvall said EPRI’s office in Palo Alto, California offers eight workplace chargers, and he often plugs in his Nissan LEAF there.

Companies such as Google, Coca-Cola, General Motors (GM), and others understand the benefits of offering workplace charging and are participating in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Workplace Charging Challenge, a program in which companies pledge to make charging available for their employees.  In May, GM said that the company has installed 401 chargers for their employees, and GM dealerships now have nearly 6,000 EV chargers in place.
