SDG&E Seeks to Install Thousands Electric Vehicle Chargers in San Diego
San Diego Gas & Electric filed a series of proposals with the California Public Utilities Commission to install tens of thousands of electric charging stations in key areas to encourage the transition to zero-emission electric vehicles.
If the proposals are approved, additional electric charging stations would be installed at San Diego International Airport, Port of San Diego, for delivery fleets, taxi/rideshare, Park-and-Rides and residential homes throughout the region. These programs would build upon the company’s efforts to install electric charging infrastructure at 350 apartments, condos and businesses as part of the Power Your Drive program.
The filing is in response to Senate Bill 350, which recognized the vital role energy companies will play in widespread transportation electrification by installing and expanding the charging network and other necessary infrastructure.
“SDG&E has spent more than a decade reducing our carbon footprint through the rapid expansion of clean energy. We all want to breathe cleaner air, which means slowing down the impacts of climate change will require an increased focus on the areas that produce the most harmful emissions,” said Caroline Winn, the utility’s chief operating officer. “We are committed as a business and a community partner to improving lives by developing meaningful solutions.”
