In today's episode of Fast ChargingSouthern Company's Tom Canada talks us through the company's new six-month pilot program that aims to overcome some of the perceived barriers to EV adoption by demonstrating the transformative potential of EV adoption in commercial fleets.
Developed in partnership with Ford Pro, the Southern Company pilot will see more than 200 F-150 Lightning trucks installed in the company's existing fleet, will develop price signals and demand response to test the impact of low-cost charging on the fleet while demonstrating the efficiency of using established charging depots.
In addition to evaluating the cost savings of EV vs. ICE, the pilot will do it again explore the use of software to create automatic charging schedules, which will enable customers to charge at times that both reduce their electricity costs and reduce any potential stress on the electricity grid.
