Successfully deploying EV charging infrastructure requires coordination across state, utility, and private actors. This session explores how policy targets are established by the California Energy Commission and how they are interpreted and acted upon by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Southern California Edison. The panelists will present their initiatives for making charging available for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and will discuss some challenges and opportunities presented by building out the grid to support this new EV load.
