Transforming the EV Market

D+R Drive Logo

What are your goals for EV adoption? We’ll help you get there.

The electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly transforming, creating new opportunities for utilities, regional energy organizations, and the automotive sector. Are you prepared? In order to align your business goals with EV market developments, D+R International developed a full spectrum solution that connects people, data and opportunities to accelerate EV adoption.

What we do

Online EV Customer Engagement Tools

We help utilities inform and educate their customers about electric vehicles. We bring modular and customized platform options that can spur EV adoption within the utility service territory. We offer digital tools for light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. Residential customers can learn more about the right car for their daily commute and commercial customers that want to convert an entire fleet to electric.

EV Strategic Planning

D+R delivers a comprehensive EV Strategic Plan for our utility clients including:

  • Establishing a baseline of EV owners and assessing the current level of publicly available EV charging infrastructure.
  • Identifying state and local EV policy that can help drive EV adoption locally. Reporting can include diversity, equity and inclusion strategies as well as local load impact forecasting.
  • Establishing reasonable goals for EV adoption and help identifying local partners to help achieve EV goals.

EV Charging At Home

D+R will design and implement a custom EV Charger Rebate Program for our utility clients.

Since 80% of all EV charging happens at the home, it is critical that utility customers get the right type of EV charger and have confidence that the EV Charger installer can get the job done right.

  • We help our clients select the best EV charger manufacturer.
  • We help with marketing and promotion of the EV charger rebate program.

EV Dealer Directory

Utilities that want to increase EV adoption within their service territory must have a defined EV dealer network. At D+R, we:

  • Utilize our national directory of auto dealers and identify a specific subset of dealers that sell EV and want to be listed in our utility clients’ EV Dealer Directory.
  • Conduct outreach to all dealers in an agreed-upon geographic boundary and deliver a comprehensive contact list of EV dealers to provide an easy EV buying experience for utility customer members.

  • Mapping the EV Customer Journey and how to position local EV dealers for increased sales.
  • Developing local utilities as a powerful partner to generate interest in future EV sales.
  • Learning from EV sales experts from around the country on how to cultivate new customers and close deals.
