A growing number of auto-makers have introduced plug-in electric vehicles in California and other markets. Industry observers generally agree that ready availability of charging infrastructure is crucial to realize widespread consumer adoption. Utilities are well suited to facilitate vehicle electrification, but few have progressed beyond small-scale pilots.
