Charging EquipmentAC Level 1• Uses a standard 110/120-

volt alternating current (VAC) three-pronged wall plug.

AC Level 2• Uses 208/240 VAC and can

be hardwired or connected with a plug, but typically requires a contractor.

DC Fast Charging• Uses commercial-grade 440 /480

VAC – produces direct current (DC) to charge

• Commercial/Public – due to costs• Provides fast charge for a some

BEVs

How Quickly will it Charge?

PEV Infrastructure• CA has 1,880 Level 2 charging

stations with 5,711 outlets and 173 DCFC’s with 467 outlets*

• Over $38M awarded in CA state funding for PEV infrastructure (2010-2014)

• 200 NRG “Freedom Stations” and 10,000 Level 2 “make-ready’s” for multi-unit dwellings, workplaces, schools and hospitals

• 17 Tesla Supercharger locations with more coming

* Source DOE Alt Fuel Data Center 10/7/14

Driving on Electricity can be Cheaper

• Driving on electricity is like paying $1.50 a gallon for gasoline*

• Utilities offer special rates for PEVs that encourage off-peak charging

• PEVs can have less maintenance costs

* When paying $0.15 kWh

PEV Incentives• California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project

– Allocated $100 million since 2010– Additional funding in the state budget for the next fiscal
