Exelon joins US electric highway coalition for more EV adoption
Exelon said it will join the Electric Highway Coalition (EHC), which is a partnership among 14 U.S. utilities to create a seamless network of rapid electric vehicle charging stations connecting major highway systems.
The systems will be stretching from the Atlantic Coast through the Midwest, South and into the Gulf and Central Plains regions.
Exelon’s six utility companies – Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco – will join the 13 other coalition utilities, the company said in a statement.
“Protecting our future means ensuring electric vehicles are an affordable, accessible, and reliable transportation option for customers in the communities we serve,” said Calvin Butler, CEO of Exelon Utilities.
The coalition will work together to ensure "efficient and effective" fast charging deployment plans that enable long distance EV travel.
The Edison Electric Institute estimates 18 million EVs will be on U.S. roads by 2030.
