Mountain Power today awarded Packsize
International with a $111,280 incentive check to recognize the

Through a partnership with LFCA, Rocky Mountain Power provides
businesses along the Wasatch Front with immediate access to Level 2 EV
chargers. The RMP
Incentive Program provides up to a 75 percent rebate to incentivize Utah
businesses to install chargers at their establishments. Since the
program launched in June 2017, 129 new electric vehicle chargers have
been installed along the Wasatch Front. The program is a positive step
forward in accomplishing Utah’s clean technology trend for a healthier
environment.
According to Rocky Mountain Power Electric Vehicle Program Manager Shawn
Grant, Utah’s electric vehicle charging network is expected to grow
extensively over the next several years.
“Innovative leaders like Packsize demonstrate that electric vehicles can
become a reality for Utah drivers,” said Grant. “In the last few years,
Utah experienced a strong adoption rate for electric vehicles. We need
to create a charging network to meet that demand. We need to position
Utah as a nationwide leader in alternative fuel programs.”
