EV Habits Checklist in Weekly Energy Update Email Module

The EV Habits Checklist in Weekly Energy Update (WEU) Email module can be included in Weekly Energy Update emails. This module helps to coach readers about how they can create good charging habits for their electric vehicle (EV).

The module provides two standard charging tips that can save them money and time, and then asks if they can adopt a third tip that will help to alleviate stress on the electric grid.

This module should be included in the first EV-specific Weekly Energy Update email the customer receives, and then again once every six months to remind the customer about good charging habits. The utility can configure how often the module appears in the email.
