PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY
DIVISION
SUBJECT:
Southern California Edison Company’s Charge Ready 2 DCFC
Site Prioritization Criteria, Updated Budget, Port and Site
Count Targets
PURPOSE
In compliance with Decision (D.) 20-08-045, Ordering Paragraph (OP) 15 and OP 16,
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) hereby submits this Advice Letter (AL) to
provide information about SCE’s Charge Ready 2 Make-Ready Expansion program,
Direct Current Fast Charge (DCFC) Site Prioritization Criteria, Updated Budget, and
DCFC Port and Site Count Targets.
BACKGROUND
On September 2, 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission or
CPUC) issued D.20-08-045 (Decision), authorizing SCE’s Charge Ready 2 (CR2)
Infrastructure and Market Education programs. The Decision authorizes $436 million in
funding to support EV charging infrastructure, rebates, marketing, education and
outreach, and evaluation of the CR2 infrastructure and market education programs.1
In OP 15, SCE is directed to submit, prior to program implementation, a Tier 3 AL with
the Commission’s Energy Division detailing the site prioritization criteria.2 The Decision
further specifies that the advice letter should reflect the lessons learned to date from the
Urban DCFC Clusters pilot approved in D.18-01-024, and, at a minimum, must also
include: (a) a plan and criteria of how to site DCFCs at short-dwell locations to maximize
utilization; (b) a plan and criteria for siting 30 percent of ports in disadvantaged
communities (DACs); (c) a plan and criteria for siting 25 percent of ports to serve
residents of Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs), including definitions for how to define areas
that are dense with MUDs; (d) input from and plan for continued collaboration with local
community-based organizations (CBOs) on siting criteria; and (e) an assessment of

behind-the-meter (i.e., customer-side make-ready) infrastructure ownership and an
assessment of appropriate DCFC power level.3
In OP 16, SCE is directed to submit a Tier 3 AL, consistent with Section 4.5.8 (DCFC) of
the decision, with an updated budget based on the updated rebate model and program
modifications.4 The Decision also requires SCE to describe how many ports and sites
SCE will target through the DCFC component of the Make-Ready Expansion program.
Section 4.5.8 requires this Tier 3 AL to be filed prior to program implementation.
Pursuant to OP 6, SCE is combining the requirements in OP 15 and 16. OP 6 states
that “SCE may combine Advice Letter filings as required by this decision so long as: (1)
the Advice Letter tiers are the same; (2) the combination does not result in the late filing
of any advice letter(s); and (3) the combined advice letter filing includes all of the
requisite information as detailed in Ordering Paragraphs 7 through 33 of this decision.
SCE must consult with the Commission’s Energy Division before combining advice
letter filings.”5 On January 22, 2021, SCE notified Energy Division staff of its request to
combine requirements for the two Tier 3 Advice Letter submissions, mandated in OP 15
and 16, as both advice letter submissions are required prior to program implementation.
Additionally, both advice letters focus on the DCFC component of the CR2 Make-Ready
Expansion program. On January 28, 2021, SCE received an email from Energy Division
staff advising SCE to move forward with its request.6
DISCUSSION
Consistent with OP 15 and 16, SCE submits this combined Tier 3 AL to provide
information about about the DCFC component of SCE’s CR2 Make-Ready Expansion
program, which includes site selection, updated rebate model and budget, and port
targets.
Lessons Learned from SCE’s Urban DCFC Clusters Pilot
The Urban DCFC Clusters Pilot, also known as the Charge Ready DCFC Pilot, was a
source of lessons learned that contributed to the CR2 DCFC site selection criteria
detailed in this AL. There are some key differences in the pilot’s site requirements that
should be noted.
Customer site costs represented a significant source of learning in the Charge Ready
DCFC Pilot. While SCE originally believed that customers may be willing to install up to
10 DCFC stations, in practice, three out of five sites installed two stations and two sites
installed four stations. The majority of applicants were hesitant to install more than two
stations due to cost concerns associated with purchasing the stations, concerns with
DCFC stations needing larger installation footprints potentially creating larger losses of
parking stalls at sites compared to L2 charging stations, and a lack of experience

operating and maintaining the stations. In CR2, SCE may experience similar challenges
in finding sites that will be open to installing more than 4 ports.
The five pilot sites were also required to be within 1.5 miles of a DAC and near multifamily dwellings. Customers solicited for the program had concerns about low EV
adoption and charging station utilization in their neighborhoods. These findings will be
used to shape how SCE designs outreach strategies to customers directly in DACs and
near MUDs so that customer concerns are addressed.
Charging station utilization data from the five pilot sites also showed that two sites
located in retail shopping centers had significantly higher utilization than other sites
having only one store or business. In particular, the most highly utilized site has a
grocery store, bakery, restaurants, and other retail outlets sharing the same parking lot.
In CR2, SCE may focus efforts on short-term dwell sites with higher pedestrian traffic.
Site Prioritization Criteria
A. Plan and criteria of how to site DCFCs at short-dwell locations to maximize utilization
An expansion of the availability of DCFC stations will result in the ability of EV drivers to
recharge a typical EV battery in a much shorter timeframe than a Level 2 (L2) charger
provides, shortening the duration for EV charging to about 30 minutes. The ability to
recharge a vehicle more quickly will encourage EV adoption in communities without
access to home or work charging and enable greater corridor distance travel. To align
the benefits of DCFC charging with potential site locations, SCE will seek to site DCFC
stations at or near short-term dwell locations where the expected parking time is two
hours or less. This will provide drivers with ample time to complete a charging session
and help maximize port utilization by increasing charging station availability to a greater
number of users.
SCE will review all incoming Make-Ready Expansion program applications and
categorize each into short and long-term dwell types. Those considered to be short-term
dwell sites will be further evaluated for potential DCFC site qualification. Candidate sites
may include, but are not limited to mixed-use retail shopping centers, libraries,
community centers, and grocery stores.
During the early stages of the program, co-location of L2 with DCFC sites that conform
to SCE’s siting criteria will likely occur when and where colocation makes sense. This
may help to reduce utility side and customer side make-ready infrastructure costs and
help to increase the availability of charging ports at those select sites.
SCE will consider four primary criteria for DCFC solicitation and siting. These include:
(1) the project’s estimated costs, (2) DAC status, (3) proximity to and saturation of
MUDs, and (4) ability to meet code compliance. After evaluating sites that meet these
initial criteria, several secondary factors will also be considered. Secondary variables
include, but are not limited to: (1) the potential number of visitors that might frequent the
general site location, (2) the number and type of other destination sites within close
- Page 3 -
ADVICE 4433-E
(U 338-E)

March 4, 2021
proximity, (3) vehicle traffic on adjacent streets, and (4) proximity to existing DCFC
stations.
B.
Plan and criteria for siting 30 percent of ports in DACs
SCE will target siting a minimum of 30 percent of DCFC ports in DACs. SCE plans to
actively identify charging sites that have the potential for high DCFC utilization. Like the
Charge Ready Pilot and Charge Ready DCFC Pilot, SCE will perform outreach to high
potential sites to educate site owners on the benefits on installing charging. High
potential sites will include DAC customers who have expressed interest in the Charge
Ready Pilot or Bridge programs but chose not to participate due to minimum port
requirements or funding challenges. Additionally, SCE will perform marketing analysis to
develop a high propensity model to identify DAC properties that are targets within SCE’s
territory. SCE will conduct program-specific marketing, education, and outreach (ME&O)
to generate interest in the program. This will include developing online webpages with
information about SCE’s programs and EV tools, direct email marketing, webinars,
informational events, and targeted online marketing. SCE will also determine if those
DAC sites that choose to participate in CR2 for L2 installations, would be potential
candidates for co-located DCFC ports in the early phases of the site assessment
process.
C.
Plan and criteria for siting 25 percent of ports to serve residents of MUDs,
including definitions for how to define areas that are dense with MUDs
SCE will target siting at least 25 percent of DCFC ports to serve residents of MUDs.
SCE defines a qualifying MUD serving site as being located within a 2-mile radius of
one or more residential multi-family dwellings. SCE will attempt to target those sites with
a higher density of MUDs, compared to other eligible sites, and attempt to prioritize
those higher-ratio sites to maximize the exposure and potential use of the DCFC
stations. Sites serving MUD residents can span a variety of business types, from retail
centers, to grocery store lots, to other locations providing public access. SCE will
determine MUD density using real estate data analytical / database tools.
SCE will also conduct program-specific ME&O. This will include direct email marketing,
webinars, and online marketing to perform outreach more specifically targeting high
potential candidate sites. SCE may also target select sites choosing to participate in
CR2 for the installation of L2 charging if it is determined they might also be strong
candidates for co-located DCFC ports.
D. Input from and plan for continued collaboration with local Community Based
Organizations on siting criteria
On December 3, 2020, SCE hosted a webinar conference with local community based
organizations (CBOs) and environmental justice organizations (EJOs) from SCE’s

Clean Air Access Working Group and members of SCE’s Government Advisory Panel.7
Feedback received during discussions at this meeting regarding this topic and SCE’s
proposed approach was met with general support. Participants in those discussions
shared their view that the selection process should leverage various variables to provide
a more holistic site evaluation process as opposed to establishing firm quantitative
metrics.
The webinar provided participants with an introduction to CR2 and solicited their input
on SCE’s proposed DCFC siting criteria. SCE presented detailed information about
CR2, DCFC site eligibility and criteria, and the overall goals of the program. Participants
had the opportunity to ask questions about the program and provide feedback about
SCE’s proposed siting criteria. The overall tone of the discussion during the meeting
was supportive. In particular, CBOs expressed the need to ensure that stations were
sited at locations that could provide the highest potential utilization. Participants also
agreed that using a 2-mile radius of which encompasses several MUD locations was
appropriate and would help to ensure a selected site could in fact serve MUD residents.
SCE plans to continue collaborating with local CBOs and other relevant stakeholders
through future program advisory council (PAC) meetings and targeted CBO meetings.
SCE will distribute program materials about CR2 to CBOs who are interested in
encouraging DCFC station adoption in SCE’s service area. During the December 3rd
webinar, several local CBOs and government representatives expressed an interest in
partnering with SCE to perform program participation outreach to their constituents and
others within the communities they serve. SCE will work with these stakeholders to
provide any needed resources to support their engagement efforts.
E. Assessment of behind-the-meter or customer-side make-ready infrastructure
ownership necessity
The Decision finds that “[e]ncouraging SCE to target a portion of the Make-Ready
Expansion for site-host ownership on the customer-side of the meter reduces the
capitalization of customer-side infrastructure, because the equipment will be owned by
the site-host and not the utility.”8 Accordingly, the Decision directs SCE to offer
customers the choice to manage and pay for the installation of the customer-side

infrastructure and receive a rebate of up to 80 percent of the installation costs as part of
the Make-Ready Expansion Program.9
SCE anticipates that customers installing DCFC infrastructure will have limited interest
in a site-host ownership option, as the customer would be required to agree to (1) take
on the additional work of managing the customer-side infrastructure installation, (2) a
rebate of only up to 80 percent of installation costs, which could potentially translate into
higher installation costs for the customer, and (3) accept the responsibility and risk for
maintaining and ensuring operation of the customer-side make-ready infrastructure and
equipment for the 10-year commitment period.10 SCE does not believe the additional
costs and risks are likely to appeal to most participants, as evidenced by the lack of
participation in the self-installed customer-side make-ready rebate option included in the
Charge Ready Transport program. The Charge Ready Transport program which
supports medium and heavy-duty vehicle charging infrastructure also offers a site-host
installation and ownership option. In that program, 34 of the 35 participating sites,
representing 97 percent of the current projects selected to have SCE perform the
customer-side make-ready work, while only 1 program participant has elected the sitehost ownership option, which provides the 80 percent rebate. It is also interesting to
note that of the 35 current projects, about half of those include DCFC installations.
Because DCFC installations are much more complex than L2 installations, and include
a combination of AC/DC infrastructure, site participants may not find the 80 percent
rebate option appealing due to the higher associated costs and decade long
maintenance and repair obligation. For these reasons, SCE believes it will be difficult to
establish specific targets for customer adoption. SCE agrees that the option for
customers to receive an 80 percent rebate for self-installation of the customer-side
make-ready should be offered and will provide full support and assistance to any
participants that choose that path. However, setting and achieving specific adoption
rates for this option will be extremely difficult to achieve absent a more compelling
customer facing value proposition.
Assessment of Appropriate DCFC Power Level
SCE will continue to collaborate with customers to best understand their DCFC power
level needs. Among other factors, SCE will assist customers with considering (1) the
customer’s charging objectives, (2) time-of-use (TOU) rate fluctuations and demand
charge impacts, (3) manufacturer discounts, (4) DC equipment costs and (5) the
inability for some commercially available light duty EVs to accept higher power
charging. Participants will be informed of the pros and cons of lower and higher DCFC
power level charging stations. Participants will have the opportunity to work with SCE

The Make-Ready Rebate is intended to offset up to 80 percent of the costs that SCE would
otherwise incur for performing the work. Every Participant will have the choice to perform this
work themselves and receive the rebate, or to have SCE perform the work at no cost to the
Participant.
CR2 participants will be required to ensure EVSE are maintained and operational for at least
a period of 10 years. D. pp. 97.

subject matter experts to help assess appropriate power levels that might best serve
their site’s individual needs.
SCE will offer a single port level rebate for DCFC electric vehicle service equipment
(EVSE) during the first year of the program and will evaluate the rebate level(s) each
year thereafter. SCE will perform the annual evaluation with its Program Advisory
Council (PAC).11 Any proposed rebate level adjustments will be based on direct
customer feedback, participation rates, and the level of remaining program funds.
Updated Rebate model and Budget Based on the Program Modifications
EVSE Base Cost Methodology
The base cost methodology developed and implemented for the Charge Ready Pilot
used an approach to identify the “best value” pricing offered for a charging station and
its installation within each defined charging power level. The rebate amount developed
by using the “best value” approach focused on the pricing associated with the lowest
cost, pedestal mounted unit within each power level. The lowest price point set the base
cost, which served to establish various rebate amounts for Level 1 (L1) and Level 2 (L2)
based on port configuration. SCE will continue to use the base cost methodology but
plans to move from the “best value” method to instead use the median price point within
each power level for establishing base costs for EVSE rebates. SCE is proposing to
transition to a median price point, as this approach will better account for new,
enhanced, and different features that enter the marketplace, as well as adjustments to
unit pricing that will continue to occur. Table 1 provides a comparison between base
cost values using a best value, and median price approach. SCE’s Advice Letter 4414E provides additional information on proposed rebate amounts and budget levels for L1
and L2 EVSE.

Differentiated rebate amounts for L2 that are discussed in Section 4.5.5.
The Decision requires that SCE set rebate levels at 100 percent for sites located in
designated DACs, 50 percent for non-DAC multi-unit dwelling (MUDs) sites, and 25
percent for all other market segments.12 These same levels will also be applied to

DCFC. Additionally, the Decision states that “SCE should be flexible to move rebate
levels up or down as the program is implemented, so that site hosts who are willing to
contribute more to installation costs be allowed to do so.”13 The initial rebate values

As required by the Decision, SCE presented and discussed the rebate levels with the
PAC on September 25, 2020. After SCE performed extensive outreach to obtain
updated pricing from previously approved EVSE suppliers, the PAC was also notified of
the proposed revisions to the rebate levels (shown in Table 2) through an email
communication that was sent out on January 27, 2021. EVgo, Greenlots, and Green
Water and Power provided feedback on SCE’s proposed DCFC rebates. Green Water
and Power requested that SCE increase the incentive for DCFC rebates. EVgo and
Greenlots proposed that SCE consider offering rebate tiers based on DCFC power
levels. SCE agrees that more exploration on how to appropriately incentivize highpowered charging would be useful. Accordingly, SCE is proposing to offer a single
rebate for the first year of the program, in order to gain additional insights regarding the
customers’ DCFC operational and power level needs. SCE will then consider the need
for incorporating a tiered rebate structure that may offer higher incentives to reduce the
costs associated with procuring higher power DCFC EVSE. SCE will include DCFC
rebates in its annual evaluation of all rebate levels with its TE Advisory Board. Any
proposed adjustments will be included in the CR2 annual program report.
DCFC Updated Budget based on program modifications
The decision (D.20-08-045) included several program modifications impacting the
DCFC component of the Make-Ready Expansion program. These include:
•
SCE is expected to build at least 205 ports with the authorized budget.
•
The budget spent on DCFC installations is limited to $13.9M, with at least 30
percent of the ports located in DACs and 25 percent of the ports serving MUDs.
Decision, pp. 69-70.
14 SCE anticipates that these values will be subject to change, as the Decision (on p. 70)
directs SCE to perform an annual evaluation of incentive and rebate levels with its TE
Advisory Board to ensure the amounts are appropriate.

•
A two-port minimum for DCFC site installations.
•
DCFC sites will be required to include at least one CCS and one CHAdeMO
connector to ensure accessibility and optimize usage.
•
Site hosts will be required to operate and maintain the EVSE for a minimum of
10 years.
•
DCFC rebate levels will follow the same discounting prescribed for L1 and L2.
These include:
o 100 percent rebate for DAC
o 50 percent rebate for Non-DAC MUDs
o 25 percent rebate for all other
•
SCE will annually evaluate rebate levels with its TE Advisory Board to ensure
the amount is appropriate.
The Decision authorized an overall budget for SCE’s DCFC component of the Make
Ready Expansion portion of CR2 in the amount of $13.9M. The Decision’s approved
rebate portion of the budget was $5.5M.
As shown in Table 2, the proposed per port rebate for DCFC at the 100 percent level for
DACs is $40,200. Using this base rebate value and a minimum of 205 port installations,
and considering a mix of DAC, non-DAC, multi-family and other site type / port targets
as prescribed in the decision, a resulting initial surplus of $1.09M arises, as shown in
Table 3, and will be treated as a program contingency. This contingency will provide the
ability to adjust DCFC rebate values as the program matures and new APL approved
products enter the marketplace. It will help to support increased base cost values,
created by price changes for existing APL-listed equipment, and support the ability to
later pursue a tiered rebate offering based on power levels, if appropriate.

The Number of Ports and Sites SCE will target through the DCFC component of
the Make-Ready Expansion program
The Decision directs SCE “to build at least 205 ports,” with the authorized budget and a
minimum of 2 ports per site.15 This translates to a maximum of 102 sites, assuming
each of those sites install just two DCFC ports. Some participants may choose to install
a greater number of ports, therefore reducing the site count. Pursuant to the decision,
SCE has set a goal to install a minimum of 205 ports but has not targeted a specific site
count.
SCE will plan to leverage the DCFC rebate contingency reflected in Table 3, as
described above. Assuming there would be no changes to the rebate level, and a
similar distribution of DAC, non-DAC MUDs and other sites, the contingency may
support the ability to install up to an additional 50 ports, representing a maximum of up
to 25 additional sites.
