Charge Ready Program

To support California’s zero-emission policies, the Charge Ready Program is making the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations easier and more cost-effective for businesses and properties in our service territory. Due to overwhelming interest and limited program funding, the Charge Ready Program is now only accepting applications from multifamily properties. Submit your multifamily property application today using the link below, and an SCE Account Representative will contact you to walk you through the next steps. Find out more with our Charge Ready Program Fact Sheet.
