This report entitled “Direct Current Fast Charging Infrastructure on Interstate-5 and State Route 99 Connecting the Bay Area to Oceanside” is the final project report from US Green Vehicle Council for the California Energy Commission, under grant number ARV-14-002. The project was undertaken in cooperation with Cleantech Institute and EVRUS, LLC. The primary objectives of the project were:
To design and install 10 Direct Current fast charging stations at 10 cities along freeway corridors of Interstate-5 and State Route 99: Stockton, Santa Nella, Coalinga, Lost Hills, Merced, Fresno, Tulare, Lebec, Castaic and Oceanside
To enable electric vehicles to travel from the Bay Area to Southern California through the Central Valley
To accelerate plug-in electric vehicle adoption
To promote green zero emission transportation
Key results:
The project resulted in more than 681 charge sessions over a six-month period,
This project reduced 6,794 kilogram of greenhouse gas emissions, and saved 765 gallons of gasoline, and
This project provided insight of usage of fast charging stations along the freeway corridors of Interstate-5 from Stockton to Oceanside and State Route 99 from Merced to Tulare.
