CTE developed three case studies for Southern California Edison (SCE), which detailed SCE fleet customers’ experiences with deploying and operating medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles. CTE worked directly with three different companies to document lessons learned from their electric deployment experiences. CTE gathered input on the companies’ relationships and experience with SCE’s Charge Ready Program, through which the utility builds charging infrastructure for customers deploying two or more medium- or heavy-duty vehicles. SCE has been using the CTE case studies as marketing and sales tools for its Charge Ready Program.

For the first case study, CTE featured Porterville Transit in Porterville, CA and their deployment of 12 electric passenger vans for an on-demand transportation program. For the second case study, CTE highlighted Anheuser-Busch. In 2020, Anheuser-Busch deployed 21 class 8 BYD electric trucks across three of its southern California distribution facilities. In the third case study, CTE presented Prologis’ charging infrastructure build-out at two of its distribution facilities. These charging sites support 38 Volvo VNR Class 8 battery electric trucks.
