WHY IS PITTSBURGH DRIVING ELECTRIC?

• Convenience – get most of your charge at home, top-off at a charging station at work or around town    
• Vehicle Choice – choose from one of 30 EV models available in our region
• Lower Costs – driving on electric in PA is less than half the cost of gasoline 
• Fewer Emissions – EVs charging up in PA emit about one third the GHG emissions of a gasoline vehicle

DUQUESNE LIGHT IS PAVING THE WAY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

EV purchases in DLC’s service territory are projected to reach 100,000 within 20 years, much more than the 3,400 EVs on the roads here as of July 2020. We're modernizing our grid to meet our customers' charging needs and leading by example with our own fleet – today we have nine EV sedans, six plug-in hybrid bucket trucks, and four electric forklifts. By 2030, all light-duty vehicles in DLC’s fleet will be electric. We will also find electric solutions for 25% of medium-duty vehicles, 30% of heavy-duty vehicles, and 50% of forklifts. Overall, we’re aiming for 30x30 – 30% of Duquesne Light’s fleet will be powered by electricity by 2030.
