Transportation Electrification Plan

Colorado is one of the top states in the country for electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and Xcel Energy is proud to partner with many others to achieve the state’s ambitious clean transportation goals, including having 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030. Xcel Energy’s transportation vision is complementary to the state’s vision – partnering with others, we want to enable one out of five vehicles in the areas we serve to be electric by 2030, leading to cleaner air and billions of dollars in customer savings. By 2050, we will provide the infrastructure and energy to run all vehicles in our service area with carbon-free electricity or other clean energy, as part of our vision to become a net-zero energy provider. Today, plugging in with Xcel Energy’s clean, affordable energy is the equivalent of about $1 per gallon or less when charging at home during off-peak hours.

Transportation Electrification Programs Rider

The Transportation Electrification Programs Adjustment (TEPA) supports these efforts. The rider appears on monthly bills under “Electricity Charges” as "Trans Elec Plan". Every October, Xcel Energy – Colorado is required to file a TEPA request with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
