Steps

  1. For PG&E: apply under the EV Power Ready Program for a new separately-metered charging site (PG&E designs/installs/maintains the utility-side equipment); note the legacy "EV Charge Network" program is fully subscribed and closed to new participants
  2. For PG&E fleets: submit EV Fleet Program waitlist applications before the June 30, 2026 close
  3. For SCE: submit a Charge Ready application before the June 30, 2026 deadline (or until funds are exhausted), then get the Program Participation Agreement fully signed by Dec 31, 2026
  4. Decide whether SCE performs the customer-side make-ready work at no cost, or self-perform and claim a rebate of up to 80% of SCE's estimated cost
  5. Re-check both utilities' current program status pages before quoting a customer, since some sub-programs are closed while others remain open
