The company is getting ready to build a massive charging network to support heavy-duty vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The California Public Utilities Commission recently\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdgenews.com\/article\/sdge-gets-greenlight-launch-major-program-build-chargers-electric-buses-trucks-and-more\">gave SDG&amp;E the green light<\/a> to deploy the infrastructure necessary to electrify at least 3,000 buses, trucks, and forklifts. It&#8217;s a major undertaking that SDG&amp;E believes will take five years to complete.<\/p>\n<p>California already has good deal of EV infrastructure in place, but the vast majority of it is tailored to small passenger vehicles. It won&#8217;t be able to cope with demands from the electric delivery trucks, garbage trucks, transit buses, school buses, and other heavy-duty EVs that manufacturers are now shipping.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We\u2019re excited to announce our major program to help electrify large vehicles and industrial equipment has been approved by the California Public Utilities Commision!

In San Diego and southern Orange County there are currently more than 100,000 fossil fuel-burning commercial vehicles like the EVs SDG&amp;E is prepping for. They produce a large chunk of all vehicle emissions \u2014 which account for more than 40 percent of California&#8217;s total GHGs.<\/p>\n<p>Big vehicles have equally big batteries on board, and SDG&amp;E wants to seize on the opportunity that presents. They anticipate using this heavy equipment as rolling energy storage that can take on charge when the supply is high (think bright, sunny days that are maxing out solar arrays) and share it with the grid when needed.<\/p>\n<p>That supply, incidentally, is among the cleanest you&#8217;ll find in the U.S. According to SDG&amp;E, generates 45 percent of the power it supplies to its customers from renewable sources.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to building a charging network that&#8217;s beefy enough to handle a steady flow of commercial vehicles, SDG&amp;E is introducing a new rate plan for businesses. It&#8217;s intended to give them a little added incentive to make the switch to EVs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: Walmart Sues Tesla\u2019s SolarCity as Solar Panels Cause Fires<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/videos\/blueprint:Bblyb5w3oV\/embed\/?player=geek&amp;mute=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>More on Geek.com:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/hyundai-launches-first-car-with-a-solar-roof-1799238\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Hyundai Launches First Car With a Solar Roof<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/watch-electric-ford-f-150-prototype-tows-over-a-million-pounds-1797066\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Watch: Electric Ford F-150 Prototype Tows Over a Million Pounds<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/additive-breakthrough-makes-ev-batteries-suck-less-in-the-cold-1793863\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Additive Breakthrough Makes EV Batteries Suck Less in the Cold<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/sandiego-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/p>\n<div>(Photo Credit: Mindy Nicole Photography \/ Getty Images)<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>San Diego Gas and Electric is getting ready for the next wave of vehicle electrification in California.
