Southern California Edison (SCE), in ….
Southern California Edison (SCE), in cooperation with the GRF Physical Property Department, has laid the infrastructure for seven electric vehicle charging stations with three individual and four dual ports.
They are located just outside the St. Andrews Gate. SCE is now installing wiring and pipe for the metering equipment. Construction of the charging stations has not been scheduled as equipment remains on order.
In January, the GRF Board awarded a $62,096 (plus a 20% contingency for a total cost not to exceed $74,496) to Charge-Point to purchase and install the vehicle charging equipment. The contract includes 10 years of service and was based on approval from the SCE Charge Ready Program, which it has since received. ChargePoint is the world’s largest charging network, designing, building and supporting EV technology.
These Level 2 charging stations are specifically designed for light-duty passenger vehicles.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Level 2 charging currently comprises the majority of publicly available charging equipment across California. The state has more EV registrations than any other state by far, a total of 563,070. The next closest state is Florida, which has 95,640.
According to a report from the California’s Office of the Governor, the state’s electric vehicle market now encompasses nearly 18% of all new cars sold. By comparision, Norway is already at more than 80%.
