For this project South Coast Air Quality Management District is partnering with EVgo, Clean Fuel Connection, Inc., University of California, Los Angeles Luskin Center for Innovation, and Three Squares, Inc. The South Coast Air Quality Management District team has completed a previous project to construct a robust Direct Current fast charger network along major highways.
This project of 10 Direct Current fast chargers in seven locations in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, extends the growing Direct Current fast charging corridor, further connecting the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs.
The landscape for fast charging has evolved considerably since this project was initially funded in 2013 and a significant amount of learning and best practices have been developed. This report will discuss the overall deployment of these fast chargers to the existing fast charging network in the greater Los Angeles region and best practices in the areas of site selection, hardware, installation, networking software and services, and education outreach so that other jurisdictions and agencies implementing fast charging in their region may benefit.
