Innovation in Electric Transportation
To meet California's goal to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution, the state will have to significantly increase the electrification of cars, buses, medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and industrial vehicles and equipment.
Southern California Edison recommends a Clean Power and Electrification Pathway that puts more than 7 million electric vehicles and more than 200,000 electric trucks and buses on California's roads and in its freight yards by the year 2030.
SCE's Charge Ready programs address early steps to increase electric vehicle adoption.

Cleaning Transportation
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.
Just the Start
To support California's goal to reduce greenhouse gases to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and to reduce air pollution by 2032, the state will have to significantly increase transportation electrification.
SCE Fleet Electrification
We currently have more than 600 electric or electrified vehicles in our fleet ranging from hybrid-electric cars to non-electric trucks that use lithium-ion batteries to power their lifts, air conditioning, lights and two-way radios while the engine is turned off.
