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 2,400 EVs registered here as of April 2019. We're modernizing our grid to meet our customers' charging needs and leading by example with our own fleet – we have nine EV sedans, six plug-in hybrid bucket trucks, and four electric forklifts.
