PG&E EV Charge Network Program with ClipperCreek
The EV charging industry is definitely getting energized according to one leading player, ClipperCreek, and with good reason.
Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in California. The state is now pushing for a large increase in the adoption of electric vehicles with a goal of 1.5 million zero emission vehicles on our roads by 2025.
Consider thise: The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recently approved a three-year program to install Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers at multi-unit dwelling and workplaces between 2018 and 2020. If you have at least 10 parking spots that can be used, this program provides an opportunity to contribute to California’s energy goals, while also improving your property.
- Cost savings: PG&E pays for the infrastructure and a portion of the charging equipment.
- Employee and tenant satisfaction: Attract and retain employees or tenants by offering EV charging.
