The widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles is an important element of any serious effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SCE leads the nation in generation from renewable sources, so plug-in electric vehicles charged in our service territory will be among the cleanest in the nation.
One of the challenges of preparing for the arrival of plug-in electric vehicles is that no one yet knows how large the market will be, or how fast it will grow. We know that SCE serves several communities that are likely to contain concentrations of early purchasers of plug-in electric vehicles, so we’ll be among the first utilities in the country to get real-world experience. We are working now with state and local officials, automakers and other stakeholders to get prepared for potential impacts on our system.
