Research Results and Supplemental Projects
Value of Research
The research conducted in the Electric Transportation program holds value to both its utility customers and industry stakeholders as well as to the public. Potential benefits include:
Value to Utilities and Other EV Industry Stakeholders
- Greater understanding of EV-related customer preferences and behaviors to inform the design of effective utility EV programs
- Deeper knowledge of local and regional EV markets to inform the design of effective utility EV programs
- Improved understanding of national and global EV markets, technologies, and trends to inform utilities as they design effective EV programs and adapt their systems and operations to EVs
- Greater understanding of the potential benefits of EVs for the environment, grid operations, customers, and society
Value to the Public
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality as a result of widespread EV adoption
- Enhanced grid reliability and safety and lower electricity costs as a result of effective integration of EVs
- More customer choice regarding energy use, technology adoption, and charging infrastructure
- Greater awareness and understanding of EV technologies and applications

Types of Research
The Electric Transportation program conducts two types of research. Those conducted as a part of EPRI's Annual Research Portfolio (ARP) are Research Results and are either Base Funded (through program funding) or Supplemental. Supplemental Projects are research, development or demonstration projects offered outside of the annual research portfolio.
