Southern California Edison Supports Transportation Electrification

Accelerating the use of electric transportation will be key to achieving California’s air quality and climate change goals. As the grid becomes cleaner by relying on more renewable resources, electricity companies like Southern California Edison can make a big difference in reducing emissions from the transportation sector. We are supporting the use of electric vehicles through the deployment of charging infrastructure, vehicle rebates, attractive rate options for EV drivers and adoption of electric cars and trucks into our own vehicle fleet.

SCE provides $450 rebate for new and used electric vehicles, putting electric vehicles within reach of more people. Learn more here.
