FPL Initiatives
• FPL's Green Fleet– Over a decade of leadership– 100 million miles using biodiesel– Over 570 HEVs, PHEVs and EVs– EV Suitability Assessment in progress
• Plug-in electric vehicle promotion– 100+ consumer education events a year– Engaged in EDTA, DEF, Clean Cities– DOE Workplace Charging Ambassador
150+ charging ports
FPL is a supporter of clean transportation
FPL's programs have been recognized by DOE

FPL Fleet Initiative
• FPL is working with NREL and EZEV to evaluate current fleet vehicles– Selected 25 vehicles in Customer Service Business Unit– Monitor driving habits and vehicle parameters– Benchmarking against Chevy Bolt (FPL owned)– Determine if vehicles are good candidates for
replacement with electric vehicles
FPL is performing an internal fleet assessment
Report expected Fall 2017

Charging at Work
Workplace charging encourages EV adoption
People who can charge at work are
6xmore likely to drive an EV than the average worker
FPL has experienced the "workplace effect"
6
Defining The Program
• Charging is free to:– Employees– Contractors – Retirees– Visitors
• Participants sign an agreement form– Home is to be their principle place of charging– Email is sent when charging is complete– Move EV when notified
FPL launched a workplace charging pilot in mid-2015
Program administered by FPL’s electric vehicle team

So Why Workplace Charging?
Most charging happens overnight at home, workplace and public sites allow for opportunity charging
at home at work

Charging away from home is an amenity - but workplace charging has a special effect...
8
The Workplace Effect
• "The Peer Effect"– Where workplace charging is an
option, EV adoption grows 6x• FPL has seen it
– After one year, our workplace charging participation has grown 5.7x
Workplace charging encourages EV adoption
• But wait, there's more– Make your commitment to
sustainability visible– Help attract and retain a cutting-edge
workforce
FPL Participation Up 5.7x

Charging should be visible, accessible and reliable
• Visible– Employee EV "lunch and learns"– Chargers grouped and green
• Accessible– Time limits / Move when charged
• Reliable– Mostly a function of charger type
Promoting It
12
Electrical Planning
• Wiring to pad– Distance = $– Site chargers as close to panel as practical
• Level 1 / 120 volt– Give each outlet a dedicated 20 amp circuit
• Level 2 / 240 volt– A Level 2 charger can have 2 ports– Each port can have a dedicated 40 amp circuit
Networked chargers can share a circuit
To minimize electrical work, place chargers close to panel
Level 2 Charger
A two-port charger serves two to four
parking spaces
2 ports
Wiring can be the most expensive part
