One member asks, "We are looking to learn from other companies that have installed electric charging stations at one or more locations for employees to charge personal vehicles, or companies that installed stations primarily for company vehicles with employee charging as a secondary use (when available). If anyone has any lessons learned, guidelines developed or even photos of posted signage, we’d be grateful. We are also interested to know if companies offer charging for free as a benefit or connect on-premise stations to one of the commercial charging businesses like Chargepoint and promote the convenience? And if anyone has thought through what happens when EVs are more prevalent from a consumer perspective and businesses will need more than just a few stations to meet demand, we’d love to hear about that too."

During this week's GBEN meeting, members offered ideas ranging from business attire to diapers. What have you tried to collect? Read More

One of our members asks, "how do members account for renewables in their internal management systems?’ We will have a couple RE systems coming on line in 2018 and want to make sure that we have internal mechanisms in place to account for the electricity generated and the RECs retired. We use Gensuite for environmental management and are considering adding fields for this purpose. We are trying to benchmark companies that may have been doing this for a few years.” Read More
