Purpose of Meeting: The Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies (CCET), in cooperation with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), will hold a meeting to receive comments from stakeholders and the general public on its draft report “Texas Triangle Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Readiness Plan” (Plan).
About the Plan: The Plan, funded by the DOE Clean Cities’ Initiative, looks at barriers to PEV readiness in the medium-size and small towns outside of the large metro areas and at statewide issues and opportunities. The Plan focuses on the interlinking travel corridors between the five largest cities in Texas and leverages the cooperative efforts of stakeholders in three large metro areas (DFW, Austin/San Antonio, and Houston). Example topics include:
- How can nationally recognized local “best practices” be promoted in small and mid-sized cities in the Texas Triangle?
- What is the best way to inform Texas consumers of PEV benefits and costs in a non-biased, upto-date, technically sound, and easily-understood manner?
- How might the various regional efforts be augmented by a statewide entity that promotes and anticipates PEV issues and opportunities?
Comment Process: The meeting will be your chance to address specific concerns, questions, and recommendations including identification of errors and omissions in the Plan. Each commenter will have 5 to 15 minutes of meeting time for comments. CCET’s Project Director and the Principal Investigator will be present to respond to questions.
