Staff: fewer charging cards and RFID tools made EV charging simpler for agency drivers
Summary
Agency staff said consolidating charging cards from seven to two, using Electrify America access and RFID cards for on-site infrastructure, has improved drivers' charging experience and operational efficiency.
A staff member described operational improvements that accompanied the agency's EV transition, saying the shift made charging far easier for drivers. "This has been huge for our team. We went from 7 different cards to charge our EVs down to 2," the staff member said, and added that agency drivers continue to access car washes, roadside assistance and Electrify America charging.
Staff and the DCYF representative also said the transition enabled agencies to install on-site charging infrastructure and adopt RFID cards to streamline charging site management. "It's really helped our agency, in the fact of allowing several different options for our drivers to be able to recharge the vehicles while they're out driving and doing their daily work," the DCYF representative said. The transcript does not specify which sites have on-site infrastructure or the funding sources for those installations.
