This translates to approximately 460,000 electric vehicles on the road. Goal 2: By 2030, Austin has compelling and equitably- distributed charging infrastructure that is a mix of level 1, 2, and DC fast charging to accommodate 40% of total vehicle miles traveled in the city. This translates to 226 megawatts of electrical load and could mean over 37,000 charging ports. Goal 3: The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA will be a global leader in transportation electrification by adopting policies and technologies that maximize the economic and health benefits for all while evolving with and defining the growth of this emerging industry. 13 Equity & Inclusion – “EVs for EVeryone” Goal - create a future of mobility that is equitable, affordable, and accessible while helping the environment. • Provide electric vehicle outreach, program development and deployment with a focus on marginalized communities • Conducted 100s of e-bike access and safety trainings for underserved community members • 86+ multifamily communities have charging including Affordable Housing properties that are home to over 27,800 residents. • New full-time employee program lead hired Jan 4, 2021 • EVs for Schools expansion… Austinite Maria, participates in an Austin Energy e-Bike demonstration and safety event 14 Equity & Inclusion – “EVs for Schools” Update “EVs for Schools” Program, pilot prioritized deployment and outreach for economically disadvantaged students at title-one schools • 795 teachers at 122 schools in Central Texas are utilizing the EV lessons • As a response to COVID19, curriculum was made online and free of charge to families locally and nationally to support at home learning • Now offered in Spanish • 6,850+ students experiencing the living lab with 65% of those students economically disadvantaged • Companion Virtual Reality (VR) experience • Curriculum incorporated by other entities nationwide to include Madison Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, Metropolitan Area Planning Council of Boston, and Sacramento area schools 15 15 Dealership Engagement & Online EV Buyer’s Guide ev.austinenergy.com • Online EV Resource & Buyers Guide • Enhance the EV shopping & charging experience • Aggregated source of EVs for sale in Austin • Phase 2 launched in November with “real-time” new/used EV inventory • Partnerships with local car dealerships • Boost EV sales through charging education • Supported by Bloomberg Climate Cities Challenge 16 “Customer Service Moment” • One of the best customer service experiences I have ever had with any organization – public or private. -Craig L. • The ease, kindness, understanding and efficiency with which he assisted me was commendable -Stephanie D. • One more great program from Austin Energy.
