One connected planning process

Move from general EV concern to actionable utility decisions

GIM connects the questions that system forecasts, engineering studies and program assessments often address separately.

01

Where will EV adoption cluster?

Forecast household-level EV adoption and charging loads by block group, ZIP code, neighborhood, feeder or service area.

02

Where could grid risk emerge?

Screen localized hourly loads against user-defined transformer, feeder and planning assumptions to prioritize engineering review.

03

When does managed charging pay?

Compare technologies, participation, incentives and program costs with G&T demand savings and additional EV revenue.
