Utilities' managed home-charging programs for electric vehicles Johns Hopkins University, United States of America Managed charging (MH) programs allow utilities to centrally manage electric vehicle (EV) drivers' home charging to reduce cost, avoid new and aggravated peaks and blackouts, and ensure grid stability. In this paper, we present a program design model and a load management model for jointly designing and executing various MH programs. Applying energy surcharges to increase supply chain energy efficiency: a cautionary tale TBD Do energy price surcharges encourage energy efficiency investments without harming domestic manufacturing? We analyze a supply chain model and find that energy price surcharges can have varying impacts on domestic sourcing. Supplemental policies like surcharge reduction and EE investment subsidies can help mitigate potential harm. Policymakers should consider these findings when designing energy policies to promote energy efficiency while minimizing adverse effects on domestic manufacturing. | ||
