- EV Charging Subscription Model – Energy company Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) proposed to California Public Utilities Commission new monthly subscription-based model for charging commercial electric vehicles
- Tier Rates – Allows operators to be charged for certain amount of power per billing period, which corresponds to number of miles driven per month
- Benefits – Proposed business model can make charging of electric vehicles more affordable for business customers, as current charges fluctuate each month, a major barrier to electric vehicle adoption
- Target Customers – Include operators of commercial electric vehicle fleets based in apartment buildings, offices, and other public locations in California
- Climate Goal Enablers – Greater EV adoption can help California achieve climate and clean air goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels and 50% drop in petroleum use in vehicles by 2030
