Charge Ready Transport Program
Get the infrastructure you need to support charging stations for a fleet of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs) at no cost to you with the Charge Ready Transport Program.
Program Highlights
The Charge Ready Transport Program provides an opportunity for qualifying businesses to have the electric infrastructure installed to support charging stations for an EV fleet at no cost to you. Certain businesses, including transit agencies and school bus operators, may also receive rebates covering part of the cost to buy charging stations.
Once your charging stations are set up, you can choose from business-friendly rate options that can help lower your EV charging costs.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are an SCE non-residential customer
- Operate a medium- or heavy-duty vehicle fleet
- Purchase at least two EVs or convert at least two EVs from fossil-fuel
- Provide a grant of easement by the property owner
- Other terms and conditions apply1
