Regulatory TREND. Anatomy of a Ratepayer Funded EV Charging Station Plan

State Regulator: California Pulic Utilty Commission

Energy Company: SoCal Edison

Overall ratepayer funded capital sought: $760 Million 

EV Charging Station Roll Out: So Cal Edison would install 48,000 additional electric-vehicle charging ports over 4 years

State policy goal achieved by access to ratepayer funds: California’s stringent greenhouse gas reduction targets

How to achieve the load shift: 

•  Shift EV load to hours of the day when there is excess generation
• Driven by large- and small-scale solar projects
• Making the the load is less costly to serve
• Eventually reducing costs and rates
