The California Public Utilities Commission has approved a $1 billion vehicle electrification charging project, with most of the money earmarked to accelerate the number of midsize- and heavy-duty trucks on the state's roads.
The rebate program will run for five years and costs will be spread out among utility ratepayers across California, with a commission staffer estimating the cost to San Diego Gas & Electric customers will come to "less than a dollar a month, for sure."
Some 70 percent of the funds will go to charging medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which combine to account for a disproportionate amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
