Electric Vehicle Basics
Electric Vehicles (EVs) run on energy stored in batteries. Batteries store energy as DC (direct current), but our power grid uses AC (alternating current). EVs have an on-board inverter to change the type of electricity from supplied AC to needed DC.

To improve the PUD's operations, we undertook a customer-wide meter replacement project, which involved replacing approximately 10,000 meters in our system. The PUD’s previous meters were no longer manufactured or supported, making it necessary to change out all of our electric meters.
