About Paper:

The development process of EV charger permit and approval has helped to increase the coverage of EV cars and EV charger installation in public and in residential homes in California. However, administrative burden prevented local government officials and utility company providers from being able to assess the impact of their policies on the customers due to lack of coordination. This effect has resulted in less coverage in EV charger adoption not just in public businesses but also among consumers in homes. For this research, the question will ask the following: Which policy approach is more effective in driving out EV charger adoption? The purpose of the study is to compare and contrast the different EV charger policies adopted by local governments and utilities in California. One of the first steps in the research was that EV charger policies and incentives were collected in a spreadsheet. Next, the specific policies between the utility providers (IOU) and the local city governments (POUs) were collected. Third, the total number of EV chargers in the region are gathered from each program. Preliminary findings showed that utility companies such as Southern California Edison tend to offer more EV coverage than local-city government municipalities. Also, the coverage of EV chargers is more numerous in Southern California than in Northern California. Much of the difference is due to availability of local resources as well as law applicability in each county. Since the research has not been studied, the importance of looking into the connection makes this worthwhile. Keywords: [no keywords provided]
