Charging at Home – SDG&E can help get lowest rates

It matters when you charge your plug-in electric vehicle. SDG&E has EV rates that will help you pay the lowest price for your EV fuel, when you charge between midnight and 5am.  These EV time-of-use rates can help you save money when you charge during “off-peak” and “super off-peak” hours.  Visit sdge.com/EV for more information.

SANDAG facilitating EV charging infrastructure 

The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is the 18 cities and county government and serves as a forum for regional decision-making and the region’s planning and transportation policy.

SANDAG is helping to facilitate EV charging and to resolve barriers to EV charger installations through the San Diego Regional EV Infrastructure (REVI) Working Group.  Learn more about this effort at energycenter.org/pluginready. From REVI, SANDAG and the Center for Sustainable Energy have completed the San Diego Regional Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Readiness Plan.
