Ready, Set...Charge!

We’re Electrifying Transportation Through Charge Ready

Through Charge Ready, our utility, Southern California Edison, installs, maintains and covers installation costs for charging infrastructure, while participants own, operate and maintain the charging stations. The program also provides rebates toward the purchase of charging stations.

EDISON ELECTRIC INSTITUTE EMOBILITY AWARD

In 2021, Edison International and SCE were presented with the Edison Award for the advancement of transportation electrification.

The award is the electric power industry’s most prestigious honor and recognizes distinguished leadership, innovation and contribution to the advancement of the electric industry for the benefit of all.

Light-Duty Vehicles

SCE has been partnering with businesses, local governments and other organizations to help increase the availability of electric vehicle charging stations at locations where people park their cars for extended periods of time.

Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

SCE is helping to install charging at customer sites to support plug-in buses, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, forklifts and other non-road cargo handling equipment.

DC Fast Charging

Fast chargers can reduce charging times to as little as 30 minutes for a full charge. SCE helped to install fast charging stations at five publicly accessible sites and will be expanding to install an additional 200 fast chargers that will be accessible to all drivers.

Parks and Schools

As part of SCE’s continued efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and air pollution, SCE has two new pilots: Charge Ready Schools and Charge Ready Parks. As many as 250 new charging ports will be installed at 40 K-12 schools and another 130 ports at about two dozen parks or beach sites. The school charging stations will serve faculty, staff, student family and visitor cars. The state park and beach charging stations will be for fleets, employees and visitors.

Transit Buses

Fossil-fuel powered buses are a significant source of air pollution in urban communities. Infrastructure to support electric bus charging at bus yards is being installed, focusing on transit systems in underserved communities that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution from buses.
