Today @californiapuc adopted a resolution that directs utilities to take no more than 125 days on average to connect new EV chargers to the grid. This will be crucial as more EVs hit the road, especially trucks and buses, in compliance with @AirResources' rules

Program and its marketing/outreach will be administered by a third party to free up utilities to interconnect new EV charging load as fast as possible. No utility ownership of behind-the-meter infrastructure is allowed, which will reduce impact on customer rates and affordability
