On a mission to be a catalyst for promoting Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption by offering transformative, customer-centric infrastructure and energy management solutions, Electrify America is investing $2 billion over a 10-year period in ZEV infrastructure, education/outreach, and access/exposure, representing the largest commitment of its kind to date in the U.S.
The Center for American Progress reports that there are an estimated 800,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on the road now in the U.S., supported by approximately 18,000 charging stations, yet the U.S. still trails other countries in terms of adoption. In 2017, 39 percent of Norway’s automotive sales were EVs—in the U.S., EV sales are still less than 1 percent. To help enable Electrify America successfully deploy its subscription-based payment option, ENGIE Insight will manage the processing of utility monthly invoices and contracting supply rates within deregulated markets for Electrify America.
