San Diego launches pilot program to charge the city’s fleet of electric vehicles [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
The city of San Diego is spending $155,000 on a pilot project with a local company that will use an innovative design to charge the city’s growing fleet of electric vehicles with the expectation that the program will put a dent in the city’s $6 million annual fuel bill.
A pair of Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Chargers, or EV ARCs, have been placed in the City Operations Yard near downtown, each with the ability to charge up to five vehicles at a time, day and night.
