Electric Vehicle Revolution: Safeguarding Your Reliability and Affordability Reputation
Reliability and affordability are the two tenets of the rural electric cooperative brand. But, with the growing adoption of electric vehicles and infrastructure, that brand is at risk.
As
national pressure mounts for EV adoption, Paulsen’s Rural97 initiative
team asked rural consumers across the country how they view their
electricity provider. We
found rural Americans worry that disruption from the EV market will
make their electricity less reliable and less affordable.
