Climate Action Plan Measure 2.3 sets goals to increase electric vehicle (EV) adoption. The Public Electric Vehicle Charging Program (PEVCP) is one way the City of San Diego is encouraging people in our communities to transition to zero-emissions vehicles.
The City has public facilities in all neighborhoods and office locations for more than 11,000 employees with over 400 parking lots. Installing EV chargers in City-owned parking lots throughout San Diego will help address community needs where charging at home is not feasible and create a connected, accessible and reliable EV charging network.
The City has entered into an exclusive 10-year concession agreement with a competitively procured vendor to implement the PEVCP. The vendor will be responsible for financing, designing, permitting, operating and maintaining EV chargers at City-owned parking lots.
The PEVCP site installations will take place in five categories, including the replacement of existing City EV chargers.
Site Installation Prioritization
| Description | Priority |
|---|---|
| Public EV chargers at City locations | Replacement |
| Public City Facilities (Libraries and Recreation Centers) | Priority One |
| City Workplaces (Offices, Police Stations, Fire Stations, etc.) | Priority Two |
| New City Facilities Construction Projects | Determined by Construction Timeline |
| Other City Properties | Vendor Determined |
