Introducing Caret™ – A powerful platform for designing and optimizing EV incentive programs
Governments, regulated entities and the private sector are trying a wide variety of incentives to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But knowing which mix of incentives will get the job done – at the lowest cost and in the shortest time – was a guessing game, until now…
The Center for Sustainable Energy® (CSE) is launching a dynamic software solution for planning EV incentive programs that empowers decision-makers to make smarter, data-driven choices.
With Caret™ you can:
Caret™ makes it easy to determine the right mix of EV incentives to cost-effectively reach your program goals in four simple steps:
1. Choose
Pick the dollar amounts and duration of any mix of incentives.
2. Explore
Compare how your choices affect program costs and progress toward your goals.
3. Advance
Ensure low-income communities share equitably in EV transition benefits.
4. Optimize
Fine-tune programs based on new market data to avoid set-it-and-forget-it syndrome.
As a trusted neutral party, CSE used its deep EV and EV charging domain expertise and decade-long experience designing and administering over $1 billion of EV and EV charging infrastructure incentive programs to develop the unique Caret™ software platform.
Now we’re making that expertise available to you.
