SCE’s Charge Ready Transport (CRT) Program offers low-to no-cost electrical system upgrades to support the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment for qualifying vehicles. This program provides a unique opportunity for fleet operators choosing to acquire electric vehicles by providing support and reducing the costs with installing the necessary charging equipment.
When a customer is approved to participate in the program, SCE will design, construct, and install the necessary infrastructure on both the utility-side and customer-side of the electric meter. If the customer prefers, they can perform the customer-side of the meter electrical work and receive a rebate. Additional rebates are available to school districts, transit agencies, and eligible companies within disadvantaged communities.
This program provides a great opportunity for
fleet owners and other operators of industrial
vehicles including:
• Medium and heavy-duty trucks, shuttles,
and vans
• Transit buses
• School buses
• Transportation refrigeration units
• Airport ground support equipment
• Port equipment
• Forklifts and other off-road equipment
