Our Electric Transportation Roadmap:Our Electric Transportation Roadmap:How is Progress Energy Supporting Electric Transportation?How is Progress Energy Supporting Electric Transportation?
● Progress Energy is partnering with our communities through Project Get Ready.
● Advanced vehicle technologies are an important part of our balanced solution.
● We are committed to developing the technology and infrastructure necessary to
support the widespread usage of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
● Progress Energy is investing now to ensure that there are few obstacles to
consumers when PEVs arrive.
Vision
Position plug-in electric vehicles to strengthen the Balanced Solution and fulfill the EEI pledge.Help develop infrastructure and technology necessary to support the widespread use of plug-in electric vehicles
to help our customers save money and reduce their impact on the environment.
