Leading the Way in Electricity SM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON 8 Charging Infrastructure Challenges Need seamless experience to support adoption Many potential providers Codes & standards for new construction Single Family Residential Multi-unit Residential Business / Commercial Public / Street Most important to address through streamlining of processes Some of the IssuesTakeaways Regional infrastructure needed to reduce range anxiety – Millions of dollars of funding available thru CEC, SCAQMD, others – Work with SCE & other cities to create regional applications for funds Building codes & standards needed to ease future integration Typically, more complicated installations with numerous sizes & configurations Work with variety of landlords, HOAs, businesses, etc. Workplace / employee charging infrastructure is 2 nd most important to develop Early focus is to upgrade 2,000 – 3,000 existing public chargeports / stubs Timing with market growth is important Charging Locations

10. Leading the Way in Electricity SM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON 9 Time delays, scheduling issues Coordinating multiple entities Time delays, scheduling issues Meter set and energized Utility time delays, scheduling & checking of neighborhood grid system capability Potential customer confusion and wasted time Problem: Single-Family Installation Process Customer Purchases Vehicle Contact Utility, Find Electrician Service Planner Assessment Electrician Installs EVSE City Inspection Meter Setting & Completion Based on SCE experience in 2009, this process can take as many as 50 days to complete. Multiple parties / handoffs and lags are the cause, with SCE, electrician, and city processes equally responsible for length. Customer maybe unclear what infrastructure is needed at home
