Program Impact and Future Outlook

While the Duke Energy IN Commercial Chargers program has concluded, it played a significant role in promoting EV adoption and infrastructure development in Indiana. The program’s structure, which covered various sectors including public, workplace, fleet, and multifamily residential, demonstrated a comprehensive approach to EV charging needs.

For businesses and property owners who missed this opportunity, it’s recommended to:

• Stay informed about future Duke Energy initiatives or similar programs from other utilities or government entities.
• Consider the long-term benefits of EV charging infrastructure, which can attract customers, employees, or tenants.
• Explore alternative funding sources or tax incentives that may be available for EV charging installations.

As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, programs like this are likely to evolve. Stakeholders are encouraged to maintain dialogue with Duke Energy and local authorities about future opportunities to support EV infrastructure development.
