Electrifying our Fleet
To support Duke Energy’s initiative to reduce overall greenhouse gases and lower emissions from the transportation sector, we have over 600 electric vehicles in our fleet, including over 220 on-road vehicles. We are committed to increasing that number by purchasing electric vehicles that meet our needs as new vehicle styles and classes are released.
By 2030, we pledge to convert 100% of our nearly 4,000 light-duty vehicles to electric and 50% of our approximately 6,000 combined fleet of medium-duty, heavy-duty and off-road vehicles to EVs, plug-in hybrids or other zero-carbon alternatives as more of these options become available.

This morning CHarlotte, NC news, DUKE now going to raise all rates 50% for residents if legislation being voted on today forced them to close coal fired plants retroactively immediately- and the consumers here IN NC already strapped with the last rate increase a week or so ago for their cleanup of coal ash they again, are pushing onto the consumer here !
When is the madness going to stop!?
Already Governor Cooper re-extended rent moratorium another month, set to expire tomorrow, with thousands of people owning around $20,000.00 + now in back rent never paid on for 15+ months' time ...
Serious troubles coming to NC and elsewhere...
Couple that with CDC's stated Covid mortgage moratoriums at Federal level (why the hell CDC involved in anything financing or political?), and this is a massive storm brewing against the US economy like never before seen...

I did Azeem, but most other people just plain stupid today. Thank you for your post.
And I want to add as an Electrical Contractor firm as well here in NC, I made quite a stink few years back to top Execs at Duke who had some regional exec from Hickory Office contact me referring electrical service upgrades and residential properties then. Seems all these ancient "Zinsco" crap meter/breaker panels on outside of millions of NC homes Duke installed for free 40-50 years ago to get people onto DUk's system, the NC Utilities Commission has NOW made them fully liable for any type of damage, fire, explosion resulting to properties which these Zinsco meter entrances are still on. They want people to update their services and get away from that equipment, so DUK is no longer liable to that residence, but most local people in my region are of the mindset "My electricity working now, why should I pay $thousands to upgrade my service entrance"???
So we fight this here all the time. Just had another one yesterday in high $$$ area of Hickory, NC from 1962, and owners there think Duke will take care of it if they call them- NO! Duke provides only service lateral or drop to service equipment. The service entrance & equipment has to be replaced & rewired to current Code by licensed electrician and that Homeowners have to pay for - so most of them do not and let things stay as is on their homes... I have photo taken late yesterday even, of Duke's underground lateral coming up into old Zinsco service equipment, and it was installed with EMT conduit underground, with that EMT so rotted, corroded, etc you can see open feeder conductors and all it will take is for someone to bump/hit that rotted area, cut into those unfused service lateral conductors, and we got an explosion and/or loss of life !! But that new homeowner argued with me, and said they will call Duke to fix it- NO they will not, UNLESS you are upgrading your entire service to your home...
Point is, here in NC, many people look at DUKE like a God or Nascar Racer seriously... So Proud.... They got Duke University, etc, and anything surrounding the name "DUKE" so many just support, praise, go along with whatever they say- just like the lost Democrats of today behind a party that no longer exists in America...

Read this. DUK needs to be worried. All the former farm acreage across NC they used for special solar farm deals from various small towns who then got cheap electricity from DUK, they then became their own regulating utility company (Such as Newton, NC), where then what happened was those citizens' bills escalated big % now as DUK no longer is who they pay, but the City of Newton for example. Pricing people without limitations now, and these town centers effectively can charge what they wish !
DUK got free power from the solar farms , plus Big $$$ Fed credts and $$$, but the end user (customer) is getting screwed even deeper monthly now. Just like DUK trying to get another rate Hike now for additional costs for their coal ash fiasco DUK created- NOT the citizens !!!
DUK pay your damn bills and take your hits to do so- LEAVE the NC consumer out of the picture for YOUR mistakes...

Channel 9 news Charlotte this morning now says Duke refusing to clean up more "unlined" coal ash pits as it would cost them too much to do so.. Boo friggin Hoo!! They created the mess, they should use their own profits to make things right !
No, DUK now saying they need another rate increase here in NC... WTF, they have had so many increases, so many people are being crushed by these rate increases.
I own a business, and if I did something wrong to environment, I would be required to clean and make that right using my own funds !! NOT go and raise rates more to make the general public clean up your mess you created knowingly in the 1st place... Just like the damn banking system today, using other peoples' funds to enrich oneself... it is wrong, immoral, and has to STOP!
They call GE "baby Enron" today. They need to LOOK into Duke Energy, its practices as well as Piedmont Natural Gas relationship and the true mega monopoly DUK has become today especially in NC.

Duke is a Monopolized conjob on the public today. Here in NC, residents are getting squeezed so bad, as repeated rate hikes go into effect.
DUK not using its own funds to clean up its coal ash mess, forcing consumers to do so is criminal too !
And recently, held from News 3 & News 9 media out of Charlotte, Duke Energy employee(s) were caught in Hickory, NC high end community stealing packages off porches !!! One customer of mine in fact where we installed "Ring" security camers/flood fixtures, caught one on camera as Duke tried to argue with our customer, unitl they supplied the footage from the Ring system...
And a large coalition is being formed here in NC legislature to go after DUK being a monopoly. Think on terms of ENRON...

DUKE is a fraud today here in NC!! It is trying to be the new Enron of 2018 and beyond... it is killing its citizens with increased rates time & again and now to clean its coal ash problems, when it should be using its own money to do so !! Just like Big banks did in late 80's S&L bailout where everything changed for worse for consumers there...
NOW here in NC, Duke is trying to act like some contractor referral service (like Home Advisor, etal) and is ridiculous !!! It/They are overhead power transmission ONLY. Not some trade electrical construction firm at all and certainly not a contractor referral program.. They in fact have instituted so much power on the State legislature and contracting industry, THEY are hurting licensed electrical contractors today stealing much of their former work regarding service installation and parking lot electrical work...
Linemen are NOT trade licensed electricians at any rate, yet Duke has overextended its reach and power here in NC to control everything, especially gas (Piedmont Natural Gas) in the State and elsewhere and it is more than a Monopoly and needs investigated for sure...

Duke Energy +1.4% after easy Q1 earnings beat
May 10, 2018 8:59 AM ET|About: Duke Energy Corporation (DUK)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) +1.4% premarket as Q1 earnings handily beat expectations and total operating revenue gained 7% Y/Y to $6.1B, helped by higher demand in its electric utilities business.
Q1 income from the Electric Utilities and Infrastructure segment jumped 28% Y/Y to $816M from $635M in the prior-year quarter, helped by a return to normal weather this year compared to the significantly warmer winter weather a year earlier and lower income tax expense.
DUK says its consolidated adjusted effective tax rate for Q1 was 15.7% vs. 32.5% in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the impacts of the Tax Act.
DUK reaffirms FY 2018 EPS guidance of $4.55-$4.85, in line with $4.72 analyst consensus estimate.
