Electric Transportation2018 Pilot Projects

Southern California is home to some of the worst local air quality in the nation. We need to fix that, and SCE aims to be part of the solution. Through the development of four pilot projects approved by the California Public Utilities Commission and designed to further the adoption of electric transportation, SCE will lay a foundation to help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in our state.

Electrifying cars, trucks and freight equipment will improve air quality and address climate change.In California, the transportation sector accounts for 45 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and more than 80 percent of its air pollution. In Los Angeles County, medium-duty, heavy-duty and non-road vehicles such as cranes and tractors contribute substantially to these emissions.

This is just the startCalifornia must significantly increase the electrification of cars, buses, trucks, and industrial vehicles and equipment in order to meet its goal to reduce greenhouse gases to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and to 80 percent by 2050, and to reduce air pollution by 2032.

2018 Electric Transportation Pilot Projects

Residential Charging RebateOne barrier to more adoption of personal electric vehicles is the cost and inconvenience of installing home chargers. This pilot will offer rebates to qualified residential customers to install the wiring for home electric vehicle chargers.

Urban Fast ChargersFast chargers can reduce charging times to as little as 30 minutes for a full charge. Currently though, few of these chargers are commercially available, and not all cars are compatible. SCE will work with program participants to install up to 50 fast charge ports at sites that are accessible to all drivers, to promote fast charging as a way to expand adoption of personal electric vehicles.

Transit Bus ElectrificationFossil-fuel powered buses are a significant source of air pollution in urban communities. This pilot, designed for government transit agencies, will fund the infrastructure cost of installing up to 20 electric charge ports (accommodating 60-120 buses) at bus yards. Efforts will focus on systems in underserved communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution from buses.

Port ElectrificationDiesel-powered port equipment is a significant source of air pollution. Pilots at the Port of Long Beach will provide infrastructure to electrify cranes and tractors used to move containers from ships to trucks and railcars:

Charging infrastructure for nine rubber tire gantry cranes: SCE has identified diesel-powered gantry cranes as the second largest source of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions at the terminal. This pilot has the potential to serve as a model for electrification ofother rubber tire gantries throughout California.

Charging infrastructure for yard tractors: These tractors move shipping containers around the port facility and currently are fueled by diesel engines. SCE will install 24 charging ports in the freight yards to encourage the adoption of electric yard tractors.
