Jeff Myrom, the Director of Transportation Electrification Programs at Consumers Energy, joins us to talk about his personal journey to EVs including his home installation. He used the electrician network provided by Consumers Energy for all customers undercover boss style to install his home charging that included a panel upgrade and a dual J1772 EVSE (charger).
Jeff also gives some insights into Consumers Energy's other EV programs including PowerMIFleet, PowerMIDrive charging at overnight accommodations, as well as upcoming Community Charging locations.
