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.
SCE's 2017 transportation plan and 2018 priority pilot programs address early steps to increase electric vehicle adoption.
OUR PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
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.
