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) | Proposed 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, 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 or EVBox.

Use the following tools to learn more about EVs, their incentives and where to charge them. Note that several of the tools are specific to EV fleets.
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.

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.
