Partners in Energy EV Plan

The City of Lone Tree, in partnership with Xcel Energy, has developed a draft EV plan to guide the development of EV infrastructure in the City of Lone Tree. Comments on the plan can be sent to austin.good@cityoflonetree.com in advance of City Council consideration of the plan on May 16, 2023.

The EV goals and strategies outlined in this plan were developed collaboratively with a stakeholder team, through three planning workshops conducted from December 2022 to March 2023. Since successful deployment of many EV strategies relies on collaboration between the City and Xcel Energy, representatives from both organizations were included. The City of Lone Tree team included representatives from Facilities, Public Works, Planning, Police, Mobility, and the City Manager’s Office. The Xcel Energy team included experts in electrical infrastructure, billing, EV fleet advisory programs, and community communications. Team members coordinated throughout the process to share information and identify potential opportunities for partnership during implementation.

City of Lone Tree had previously developed an Energy Action Plan in 2022, and now joins several Colorado communities in developing an EV Action Plan through Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy, an offering that provides resources for community energy and EV planning. Partners in Energy also supports 18 months of plan implementation in the form of marketing and communications, data tracking and analysis, program expertise, and project management.
