Provide Input for Paducah Power System’s Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan

Date of Release: 
September 22, 2023

Paducah Power System is developing an Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Plan to strategically position the utility and community to meet future EV and charging infrastructure needs. Community input is critical to the EV Readiness Plan. The public can contribute by completing a survey and/or participating in a roundtable discussion.

The EV Readiness Plan will provide an analysis of the community’s needs, opportunities, and challenges regarding EV adoption. Plus, the plan will provide recommendations regarding EV charging, grid infrastructure, services, policies, and programs. 

Surveys 

Local residents, businesses, and organizations are invited to complete the Residential or Commercial survey. These responses will help Paducah Power System gauge stakeholder awareness, needs, and priorities, identify knowledge gaps and possible barriers to EV adoption, and drive the recommendations in the EV Readiness Plan.
