During the closing plenary of the Summit, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Transportation Reuben Sarkar
provided special recognition to select Challenge partners for demonstrating leadership in supporting the
development of the national plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
50. Implementation Considerations
• Understand your rationale for implementing workplace charging
BOOKFACTORY®
• Options: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
• Operating costs (worst case): Volt $1.11 Leaf/i3: $1.80 Tesla: $2.95
• Employee Only or Open to Public
• Don’t overthink this: e.g.“I don’t have any employees with an EV.”

Expansion- lessons learned
The good
• Bringing leadership along in the
journey was a help-tollgates
• Better employee experience
• Better reporting
• Reporting helped sell an immediate
expansion
• Guiding principles used to manage
expectations
• Good partnership with the service
provider
The bad
• The switch from $1.50/hr to free
wasn’t forecast
• Challenges with Landlord Approval
• Signage lags installation
• Communications not read
• Expectation of facilities to manage
demand
• Town halls sparsely attended
• One size doesn’t fit all
– Reservations
– Charging after a certain period
– Enforcement (towing)
57
• Fix signage
• More expansion-electric room capacity?
• Frequent user forums
• Looking hard at Level 1
What’s next?
59. Intuit Proprietary & Confidential
Electric Vehicle Guiding Principles
Principle #6: We study local best practices.
Guiding Principles Workplace / HR Direction
Principle #4: Intuit bears the cost of charging for
our workers
• Industry benchmarks here are mixed
• Talent attraction and retention drives this decision
Principle #5: We call on the EV owners themselves
to use proper etiquette
• If demand exceeds supply, EV owners should free up
the space for others once their vehicle is charged.
• If an owner is not present and the vehicle is fully charged
Owners may carefully disconnect and connect to their vehicle
• EV Charging is on a first come first served basis. Places may
not be reserved, traded or saved
• We encourage the use of local site employee administered EV
groups and distribution lists as well as the Intuit Electric Vehicle
(EV) Owners Group on Yammer
Principle #3: We make investments in chargers
based on current and expected demand
• The quarterly occupant survey includes a question on EV
ownership
• We estimate demand based on regional projections and then
multiply the results
Principle #7: EV Chargers are an amenity, not a
right
• We learn and benchmark ourselves against others and
apply learning's appropriately when they fit our strategy,
tax plans, employee goals or business objectives.
Principle #2: Where it supports our Workplace
Strategy, we open our EV chargers to the public
Y: Enabling employees to ‘get to work’ …and “home”-while balancing workplace strategies
• Balancing right for me vs. right for my community
•EVs, while good for the environment are bad for traffic
congestion
Principle #1: We encourage the use of Electric
Vehicles
• We invest in an appropriate number of charging
stations and charge a consistent rate to employees
for use where it makes sense and we have economies of scale
• Workplace provides this choice to our employees to solve
their commute needs and attract and retain talent- there is
no assumption of provision as a benefit-Intuit reserves the
right to add and subtract EV chargers as we see fit
The fine print: Workplace reserves the right to revisit these principles and modify as needed to maintain a balanced employee, environment and shareholder perspective

63. Current Summary
First Stations Opened in October, 2013
Today’s Locations
46 spaces in LA County
32 in Burbank
10 in Glendale
4 in LA
10 Cast Member (employee) spaces at Disneyland
Resort
20 Guest spaces at Disneyland Resort
Total = 76 charging spaces now available, all on the
ChargePoint network.
64. Original User Experience
ChargePoint card is required. Users must complete one time
sign up to be able to see the Disney Network on
ChargePoint.com.
Original fee was on high end of spectrum: $1.75/hr ($3.50
starting with the 4th hour)
Main reason was to ensure that we would not need to install
more stations, since our capacity was (and is) limited in older
garages.
Most drivers were simply happy to have a plug-in option.
Agreed with Facilities to review usage reports and adjust
pricing – up or down – every few months
65. Current Pricing
DLR stations came online in Jan, 2014 at a different pricing
scheme; original intent was to break even
Fee = $0.28 cents/kWh for Cast; $0.35/kWh for Guests
Currently 100 Cast registered for 10 available spaces
Capacity at Cast stations is reached almost daily recently, due
to lack of “penalty fee”
LA County fees were changed in May, 2014
Current fee = $0.31 cents/kWh; also $2.50/hr starting with the
5th hour
More fair for cars that charge at a slower rate
Currently 325 drivers registered for 46 available spaces
Spaces occasionally fill up, but the 5th hour “penalty” usually
opens spaces up for 2nd or 3rd uses during the day
66. Additional EV Incentives
$1 per day for reporting an EV commute
Southern California only. This is to help comply with air
quality rules set forth by SCAQMD (South Coast Air
Quality Management District.)
Reserved parking while charging
Small discount on interest rate through Partners FCU
on new EV loan (0.25%)
67. Fun Facts
Total cost: well into six figures for the entire system
Average cost: approximately $9,500 per port
Includes hardware, software, networking, electrical
infrastructure, signage, striping, etc.
425 drivers are registered as of yesterday
~7.6 drivers / available plug
Recent study suggested 1 plug for every 10 drivers,
assuming capacity of 2.0 sessions per station per day
(source: Charging for Charging, Michael Nicholas and Gil Tal, for UC Davis)
Averaging ~74 charging sessions per day at 56
available employee spaces
~1.32 sessions per employee plug, weekday average
73. Policies and Incentives Research
» EV Initiative webinars
» Eight employer interviews
» Amping up California literature review
74. Monetary Incentives
Supportive of PEVs
» Cash incentives
» $4,000 for purchasing or leasing a qualified PEV
» $1/day each day commuting to work
» Employer covers EV lease up to $240/mo
» Leads to HOV access
