In the EV Fast Charge Program, PG&E pays for, coordinates, and facilitates construction of the electrical infrastructure from the utility pole to the parking space at a limited number of competitively selected sites.
PG&E qualifies EV charge vendors on an ongoing basis to apply for program funding on behalf of eligible site hosts.
PG&E customers interested in the program can contact approved vendors directly to determine if their site is suitable for fast charging, learn more about the program and how to apply. Download information on contacting an approved vendor at pge.com/evfastchargevendors (PDF, 1.4 MB).
Transportation emissions in California are the highest sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to air pollution and negatively affect health. In September 2020, as part of a statewide effort to reduce transportation emissions and create a more equitable and carbon neutral future, Governor Newsom passed Executive Order 79-20. Prioritizing clean energy transportation solutions and accelerating California’s transition to ZEV requires a rapid deployment of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to enable sufficient availability of charging options at workplaces and public places. The purpose of the program is to provide charging infrastructure at school facilities and educational institutions in support of California’s electrification goals.
PG&E offers two EVSE ownership options at school facilities:
Equipment Type | Equipment Cost | Warranty | Maintenance/ Network Service (8 years) | Rebate | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
L2 (Single) |
$4,000 |
$1,500 |
$3,500/$2,500 |
$11,500 |
|
L2 (Dual) |
$6,000 |
$1,500 |
$4,000/$4,000 |
$15,500 |

The purpose of the program is to provide charging infrastructure at State Parks and beaches for fleet and public usage in support of California’s electrification goals.
PG&E owns, operates, and maintains the EVSE and associated network fees for a period up to eight years.
PG&E offers site hosts a choice of ChargePoint (PDF, 6.1 MB), EVBox (PDF, 2.6 MB), or other select vendors.

Use the following tools to learn more about EVs, their incentives and where to charge them. Note that some of the tools are specific to EV fleets.
PG&E’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Rule 29 will pay for and coordinate the design and deployment of service extensions from PG&E’s electrical distribution line facilities to the service delivery point for separately metered electric vehicle charging stations.
In addition to Electric Rule 29, for distribution line extension work, Electric Rule 15 may also apply. This rule only applies to commercial, industrial, and multi-family customers. This does not apply to single-family homes.
Customers interested in the program can apply online at Your Projects.
Eligibility
Applicants, other than those in single-family residences, must plan to purchase and install qualified electric vehicle charging stations. They must maintain and operate these stations for at least five years.
PG&E begins offering service under Rule 29 on April 5, 2022. Customer can apply online by visiting yourprojects-pge.com or call the Building and Renovation Service Center at 1-877-743-7782.
The customer is responsible for installing the charging equipment. They must install all required electric service equipment to PG&E electric service standards. And they must pass all inspection requirements. For a complete list of requirements, view the latest Greenbook Manual.
Charging stations need to be installed within 30 days of the service point being energized.
A minimum of five years.
Participants will be enrolled in PG&E’s Business EV rate by default—unless the rate becomes closed or another rate is determined to be more appropriate. However, applicants may switch to another Time-of-Use rate.
Qualified charging stations must meet the safety requirements set forth by the Transportation Electrification Safety Checklist related to utility-side infrastructure and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission Decision, (D.)18-05-040 (PDF, 2.0 MB).
No, there is no port count minimum.
Any amount of annual usage on the chargers’ utility meters is sufficient.
Similar to selecting a gasoline-powered car, choosing the electric vehicle that's best for you depends on a number of different factors including your driving habits and personal preference. Here are some factors to consider:
If your daily commute is less than 40 miles, many electric vehicles—hybrid or battery electric—will be able to handle your daily driving without the need for gas. If you want the ability to drive much farther, several battery electric vehicles can travel 100 to 200+ miles on a charge. If you need to drive farther without charging, consider an extended-range hybrid like the Chevy Volt.
Plug-in electric vehicles typically have lower total cost of ownership and, in particular, lower maintenance costs. This is because they have fewer moving parts, reduced oil changes (or none for a full electric) and fewer brake jobs—battery regeneration absorbs most of the energy. Hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles can go 100,000 miles before receiving a brake job.
They will probably be recycled, but PG&E and others are researching second-life applications.
Also visit the Center for Sustainable Energy to see what others are doing.
Yes, public charging stations are located in supermarket parking lots, city garages, gas stations and many other locations across the country. Some public charging stations are free and others require a fee or membership.

On our EV rate plans, you can pay the equivalent of $1.25 per gallon to charge your vehicle. Decide which rate makes sense for you. Learn about the different rate plans available to EV owners.
