In Washington, Avista Utilities has completed the installation phase of its Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Pilot Program in which it has installed 418 AC Level 2 ports at various residential, commercial, and public locations, and seven DC Fast Charging (DCFC) sites. Avista owns and maintains all charging stations, which are located behind the customer’s meter. In the case of the DCFC sites, Avista owns the infrastructure from the transformer to the charging station. Residential customers were provided a premise wiring reimbursement of up to $1,000 per port connection, and commercial customers received up to $2,000 per port connection. In exchange, the customer allows for data collection and load management by Avista. For public DCFC stations, users are charged $0.35/kilowatt-hour (kWh).
