Utility Customer Support Priorities Think like a PEV-buying Consumer & Design a program to delight them Customer Information Establish PEV Infrastructure Customer Service line (1-800 number) Infrastructure installers may also have questions, observations, Provide brochure, website, general Q&A (w/ EDTA-NPVI site) Provide simplified rate program options - encourage correct charging behaviors Ensure close collaboration with key stakeholders, including OEMs, Installers Residential Charging (every PEV buyer needs one reliable place to charge) Ensure low (or no) customer impact for home charging installation Time, convenience, cost - including meter if needed, rate program signups Define Utility role in installation process - first option for mitigating grid impacts Facilitate local fast-track permitting/inspection process Rapid utility response to any local grid issues Anticipate impacts to local distribution systems Near-term focus areas
Other Utility Priorities Multi-family Residential/Workplace charging Support outreach - facilitate education and planning Public Charging Consider direct utility ownership of nominal backbone Infrastructure and EV incentives Support credits, waived fees, etc. 17
PEV Readiness Enabling an Early Market Coordination and Cooperation Consider a Task Force organized around key issues Simplify Complexity is inherent with so many stakeholders strive for simplicity wherever possible relative to the consumer experience Walk before you run Avoid burdening the system in the near term with long term considerations Permitting Evaluate options: Is the cost of your city s permits going to be a barrier? Can you simplify your city s processes (e.g. online permitting)?

EVSE Utility Notification Process Key Considerations: Level 1 (120V) vs. Level 2 (240V) Installs Existing Panel Capacity vs. Panel Upgrade Ensure Seamless Customer Experience Privacy Issues Administration Costs of Data Management Volt customer completes pre-installation survey. Phone Discussion Dedicated Call Center Dedicated Call Center Customer is asked to share address, vehicle preference with utility (opt-out statement) The EVSE Installation will be determined by EVSE choice, rate option, existing home electrical hardware. A Three-Way call between Call Center and Utility to discuss. 20
Utility Notification Process Evaluation Preliminary Process is Established GM, on behalf of its customers and within its own Privacy policy, will provide EV purchase (address, vehicle) information to the utility. Evaluation: Consumer Behavior Currently, there is no empirical data to show customers will not participate in notifying their utility. GM, in close coordination with our utility partners, will evaluate effectiveness of the process. Process will be adjusted based on learning. Evaluation: Grid Impacts Evaluation of the local electrical service should be evaluated in concert with consumer behavior. For example, Is an EV load (120V or 240V) within the panel capacity driving transformer upgrades? For example, How do panel upgrades impact transformer upgrades? For example, Does consumer behavior increase or decrease percentage of at-risk transformers? Results of this evaluation expected to clarify when information must be provided. For example, Should customer information be provided at vehicle purchase, when customer decides to install 240V, or when a panel upgrade is necessary? GM, along with the utilities, supports preventing local grid issues (i.e. blown transformers). Data need to determine what process or procedure is most efficient and effective. 21
Utility Notification Process Privacy Discussion Why is Privacy important? GM must comply with the provisions of its Privacy Statement for US Consumers (www.gm.com/privacy), particularly the bolded provision about sharing personal information with third parties, such as a utility: The information you share with us may be used by GM, our affiliates, our licensees, and dealers. It may be used by our suppliers exclusively to provide services for GM, and by our business partners to conduct joint marketing programs with GM. It may also be shared in connection with the sale, transfer or financing of a significant part of a GM business. We will not share your personal information with third parties other than these for their independent use without your permission. Therefore, anytime GM administers any information on behalf of a GM consumer, we must comply with our privacy statement and ensure security of details such as name, address, etc. What are the implications of not complying with one s own company privacy policy? The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over public statements and promises companies make in the U.S., including privacy statements. The FTC has issued a number of Decisions and Orders over the last several years that address violations of Section 5 (Unfair Practices) of the FTC Act involving the privacy of consumer information. The FTC has found that it is an unfair trade practice for companies to collect personal information under a privacy policy that states the information will not be shared with third parties and then to share the information with third parties without providing additional notice to consumers. The FTC has ordered respondents not to misrepresent in any manner, expressly or by implication, the extent to which it honors privacy choices exercised by users. Companies that the FTC has issued Orders against under these circumstances have been censured, ordered to dispose of personal information, fined, and are subject to audit reporting requirements lasting many years. 22
Utility Notification Process Privacy Discussion cont d Why not complete forms at the dealership? Dealers, as independent businesses, would be administering a program on behalf of the utility. Why not mandate advanced notification? Or a waiting period? An advanced notification or waiting period would place a barrier to the acceptance of electric vehicles. What can GM do? Applying the above to GM's privacy statement for U.S. consumers, we state that we do not share a customer's personal information with a third party for the third party's independent use without first getting the customer's permission (explicit consent). Utilities under these circumstances would be considered such a third party and we would not be able to share our Volt customer/prospect information with a utility unless we first get the customer's permission. By asking for permission to share only address and vehicle type information, thus avoiding the use and dissemination of sensitive data (e.g.: name, birth date, social security number, etc), permission for sharing data can be obtained through an opt-out process. This means GM will share the data in accordance with our disclosure to the customer unless the customer indicates he or she does not want us to share address and vehicle type information 23
