Avista installing electric charging stations in E Washington
July 17, 2016 Spokesman-Review
Avista Corp. is installing dozens of electric-vehicle charging stations in
Eastern Washington homes and offices as part of a pilot project.
The Spokane-based utility says the two-year program will help it collect
information to help it manage the ups and downs of customers’ electricity
use.
The Spokesman-Review reports that Avista this month will begin installing EV
charging stations in 120 homes and 80 at businesses and public locations.
It will also install seven DC fast chargers in public areas, including
Rosalia, Spokane and Pullman. Those units will extend an existing network of
public charging stations in the state, which are mostly around Puget Sound
and the Interstate 5 corridor, and could help reduce “range anxiety” in
drivers worried about where to charge their cars on longer trips.
Avista provides electricity to nearly 340,000 customers.

Rendall Farley is in charge of Electrification and Transportation
Initiatives at Avista. He bought a used Nissan Leaf to better understand
consumer car use. Avista is installing chargers at homes, workplaces and
public places as part of a pilot program starting in August. The utility
wants to start collecting information about how electric cars could affect
their load in the future. (Dan Pelle / The Spokesman-Review)

Spokane-based Avista will begin installing 272 charging connections in
Eastern Washington homes, workplaces and public areas this month to gather
information on electric cars and recharging ...
Avista doesn’t expect electric vehicle recharging to become a significant
revenue source for another five to 10 years ... The utility expects to
recover the cost of the two-year pilot through future electric rates ...
Electric-vehicle owners can apply to have a charging station installed at
their residence at no cost. The equipment and installation is valued at
about $1,375 per customer, and it speeds up the rate of recharge. Plugging
an electric vehicle into a 110-volt outlet provides about 5 miles of driving
distance per hour of charging, compared to about 25 miles per hour of
charging with an AC Level 2 charging system.
The ideal candidate for the program is an electric car owner whose employer
also is willing to have a workplace charger installed.
“We know that 80 percent of charging occurs at home,” Farley said. “Another
15 percent occurs at work, where people are parked for a long time. The U.S.
Department of Energy has found that workplace chargers can be a tremendous
incentive and catalyst to driving electric.”
The utility also will install seven [L3 50kW/200mph] DC fast chargers in
public areas, which are designed to reduce “range anxiety” in drivers of
electric vehicles and encourage them to take longer trips.
The first installations of fast chargers will be in Rosalia, Spokane and
Pullman, with later sites determined as Avista learns ...
