WE'VE BEEN SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. WE HAVE CHANGED OUR NAME TO AES INDIANA BUILDING ON THIS
FOUNDATION FOR WHERE WE SEE THE INDUSTRY GOING. FOR CUSTOMERS WHO DON'T KNOW A TON ABOUT AES IT IS A GLOBAL

GM ANNOUNCED IT'S SEEKING TO ELIMINATE TAILPIPE EMISSIONS BY 2035. BUT EVEN CLOSER TO HOME
EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND WHEN I TALK TO OUR CUSTOMERS THEY ARE SEEKING SUPPORT AND HOW TO
INTEGRATE ELECTRIC VEHICLES INTO THEIR LIVES AND INTO THEIR OPERATIONS. MOTOR IS SEEKING TO MAKE IT VERY
EASY FOR CUSTOMERS TO GET AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE. IN FACT, WE HAVE A SERVICE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO GET A CAR FROM
YOUR PHONE. AND WE ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO MAKE THAT
POSSIBLE. THE OTHER THING WE ARE DOING IS LOOKING AT HOW TO MAKE THE CHARGING OF THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLES WORK BEST FOR ALL UTILITY CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THESE VEHICLES ARE CHARGED AT THE RIGHT TIME WHAT IT CAN DO IS
LOWER COST FOR ALL CUSTOMERS. SO WE ARE FILING A PLAN WITH THE COMMISSION TO OFFER THESE SERVICES AND REALLY DRIVE
BENEFITS FOR ALL UTILITY CUSTOMERS WHETHER THEY DRIVE AND EV OR NOT. >>: OUT OF TME.
