EV & Sustainability-EV Policy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Lanelle Duke, VP of Product at Utilamark and Program Manager for the Electric Vehicle Consortium, presents a comprehensive training on creating effective EV fleet policies. She emphasizes the importance of well-defined policies to ensure standardized, scalable, and strategic EV integration across organizations. Key benefits include reducing fragmentation, clarifying responsibilities, enhancing safety, managing resources equitably, supporting drivers, and aligning with sustainability goals. Duke introduces a structured policy-writing framework: research and gather input from stakeholders, draft clear and concise policies, communicate effectively with training, monitor implementation, and refine based on feedback. She illustrates this process with a real-life example of a home charging policy developed collaboratively. Best practices include strong communication plans to reduce resistance, piloting policies to gather real-world feedback, forming internal EV user groups for engagement and support, and clearly defining rules around personal use of company charging stations to maintain fairness and operational efficiency. Clear policies build trust, accountability, and smooth EV fleet adoption.
