The Golden State continues to lead the way on vehicle electrification. Governor Brown issued an executive order in March that directs state government to support the rapid commercialization of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the state, with a target of 1.5 million ZEVs on California roads by 2025. This week, the California Energy Commission approved funding of $341,045 to help improve the state’s EV charging infrastructure.
The infrastructure awards are made through the Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, which is funded through a surcharge on vehicle and boating registration and smog check fees. Payments will be made on a reimbursement basis, and require matching funds from recipients.
This round of funding will go to four awardees:
-
The California Department of Housing and Community Development will receive $200,000 to study the costs and code requirements for installing charging infrastructure in residences, including single-family homes, condos and apartments. The information gained will be used to establish residential code requirements throughout the state.
-
Alternative Energy Systems Consulting will receive $69,446 to install five RWE Level 2 eStation Smart Systems on the campus of the University of California, San Diego.
-
California’s Office of Fleet and Asset Management will receive $41,475 to upgrade its existing electrical system and install nine Level 2 electric charging stations at the State Garage in Sacramento.
- OurEvolution Energy and Engineering will receive $30,124 to build and operate two workplace Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations in Humboldt County, one at the Arcata City Hall, and the other at GHD Engineering in Eureka.
