Energy to Community Stowe: Electric Vehicle Readiness and Charging Roadmap for Stowe, Vermont
Thanks to funding from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Energy to Communities (E2C) program, Vermont Clean Communities Coalition gathered community input to support the Stowe Electric Department (SED) in developing an EV Readiness and Charging Roadmap (EVRCR) plan to inform EV charging locations for the town of Stowe, VT. The EVRCR provides a plan for the town of Stowe to expand its EV charging infrastructure by balancing the interests and capabilities of the town and the utility, with the interests of Stowe’s residents, community organizations, and businesses.
The Roadmap will:
- Provide insights to the town of Stowe and SEC to meet infrastructure and energy goals in the town plan.
- Provide the Stowe Energy Committee (SEC) with information on EV Charging locations, infrastructure, and planning to advise the Stowe Planning Commission and Selectboard onsite selection for installing EV Charging.
- Share input collected from businesses and residents about EVs, charging priorities and preferred charging locations in the community.
- Outline VTCCC support of Stowe in their commitment to providing charging options and opportunities for all members of the community, visitors and tourists.
- Share the current state of EVs in Stowe, the future of EVs and EV charging infrastructure, and outline potential phases of implementation and options for future funding.
The final report is attached here, which offers additional insights from the EV Readiness and Charging Roadmap project.
