Update Of Current Initiatives:
Plug-In Electric Vehicles
● As part of a national research effort with
Ford, EPRI, Johnson Controls, SAFT, and partner utilities, Progress Energy is testing two Ford Escape PHEVs
● We will receive 12 Chevy Volts in 2011 for research and demonstration purposes
● Progress Energy will also showcase the
Toyota Prius PHV technology as part of a US demonstration loan
● We will further acquire and integrate into our fleet additional technologies such as the
Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus EV, etc.

Our Electric Transportation Roadmap:
How is Progress Energy Supporting Electric Transportation?
● Progress Energy is partnering with our communities through Project Get Ready.
● Advanced vehicle technologies are an important part of our balanced solution.
● We are committed to developing the technology and infrastructure necessary to support the widespread usage of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
● Progress Energy is investing now to ensure that there are few obstacles to consumers when PEVs arrive.
Vision
Position plug-in electric vehicles to strengthen the Balanced Solution and fulfill the EEI pledge.
Help develop infrastructure and technology necessary to support the widespread use of plug-in electric vehicles to help our customers save money and reduce their impact on the environment.
