Electrification

A responsible energy future

Electrification means transitioning technology away from fossil fuel dependence in favor of electricity and renewable sources. Electrification uses the power of renewable resources like the sun and wind to charge cars, trucks, forklifts, buildings and more. Electrification is part of our Energy Blueprint.

Electrification benefits

Save money. Electricity is more economical than gasoline, propane or diesel. Electric options use energy more efficiently. In many cases, a switch to electric may reduce your fuel costs by half or more. According to the Department of Energy, charging an electric tank could cost as little as $6. Check out our online tool for a personalized view on how much money and emissions you could save by switching to an electric vehicle (EV).

Create a healthier environment. Electric options reduce emissions, lower noise levels and improve air quality.

Reduce maintenance costs. Electric options use fewer moving parts and require less maintenance and repair. That saves time and money.

Why we support electrification adoption

Electrification provides more control over your sustainability footprint and lowers the cost of fueling a vehicle. Electric vehicles are cost-effective and eco-friendly. There are many affordable options on the road today.

How we’re moving the needle on electrification

We strive to be a leader in electrification initiatives and innovation. We embrace technologies that support our strategy to serve customers and build stronger communities.

We’ve been involved in electric transportation since 2016. Our expertise is helping us create better customer offerings for EVs and charging stations.

We partner with residents, communities and businesses interested in purchasing EVs and installing charging stations. We help customers understand the necessary infrastructure and offer information about funding options.

We share the benefits of electrification through EV education and resources.

We’re a proud member of the National Electric Highway Coalition, a group of electric companies collaborating to provide EV fast charging stations. This will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence along major U.S. travel corridors.

We lead by example

We are in the process of electrifying our active light-duty fleet vehicles. We will complete this goal by the end of 2030.

Where possible, we purchase EVs and parts locally to benefit local economies.

We work closely with customers and local businesses to help them achieve electrification and energy goals. Reach out to us if you’re interested in electrifying your business fleet. We’d love to help!

We’re currently developing new offerings to help you through the electrification journey. Check out our webpage for more information and stay tuned!

This is part of our Energy Blueprint to create a more responsible future for our customers and communities.
