Duke Energy filed a $56 million Phase II proposal to install over 1,000 EV charging ports in North Carolina, building on an earlier $25 million Phase I program approved in 2020. The initiative supports North Carolina's goal of 80,000 zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025 and includes DC fast charging expansion, multifamily dwelling charging, and support for 60 electric school buses. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is cited explaining how utilities benefit financially from off-peak EV charging.
