Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program Overview

This document is a guide detailing the Charge Ready program initiated by Southern California Edison (SCE) in response to California's executive order for zero-emission vehicles by 2035. The program aims to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging accessibility by providing the necessary infrastructure. SCE is responsible for the installation and maintenance of charging infrastructure, while participants own and operate the charging stations. The program offers incentives totaling $436 million to support the installation of over 30,000 charging ports within five years. The document outlines the challenges faced by SCE in managing EV charging projects, including issues with customer enrollment processes and integration with existing systems. To address these challenges, Resource Innovations (RI) provides a cloud-based software solution that streamlines program management and enhances reporting capabilities. The expected outcomes include supporting the electrification of 550,000 vehicles and achieving significant administrative savings, ultimately improving the experience for stakeholders involved in EV charging initiatives.
