SCE S ROLE 3

Why Electric Vehicles Now A growing national imperative to secure our energy future by reducing our reliance on imported oil, thereby reducing the impact on the U.S. of oil market price volatility EV development and popularity have gained momentum in recent years for several reasons, including: Environmental concerns (both climate change and air quality) surrounding the combustion of fossil fuels Improvements in battery technology, which are enabling increased electric car range 4 Contact your SCE Account Representative or call 1 Southern California Edison

A Look Ahead Introduction of a variety of electric vehicles by major automakers to meet a range of customer needs Electric utilities are the fuel provider for EVs California is one of the first and largest markets for these cars Although it is uncertain how large the market for electric vehicles will become, SCE s service territory could see as many as one million by 2020 As a result of the introduction of electric vehicles, SCE does not anticipate any significant system-wide impact to the electricity supply 5

SCE s PEV Readiness Activities Operations Process cycle time cut in half with reduced internal and external handoffs SCE s PEV Readiness Program has been leading a comprehensive effort to prepare the utility for the arrival of PEVs Infrastructure Developed complex forecasting models to plan infrastructure upgrades; updated transformer standards for PEV load Customer Education & Outreach PEV readiness websites; education materials for residential and nonresidential customers SCE Focuses on Providing a Positive Customer Experience to New PEV Adopters ( SCE does not provide EVSE or other beyond - the - meter PEV services) External Engagement Process alignment with automakers, engagement with cities, training for dealers, electricians, and inspectors ELECTRIC VEHICLE BASICS 7

Electric Vehicle Types Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) are powered by electric motors and advanced batteries, and are fueled 100% from the electric grid. Plug - in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) have two integrated propulsion systems: an internal combustion engine, and an electric motor powered by an advanced battery that can be recharged from the electric grid. These vehicles use both gasoline and electricity fuel. 8

Electric Vehicle Charging 1 This comparison chart for charging units is provided for your general information and is not intended as a recommendation, endorsement or guarantee of any particular charging level, charging-unit type or charging-unit cost. Charging times presented may vary according to make and model of the vehicle being charged, charging settings and battery state. Charging-unit costs are estimates based on publicly available information and do not include cost of installation, electrical work, or additional equipment and/or services. There are different EV charging levels, or voltages, for customers to consider. 9

Higher voltage levels mean the vehicles fuel faster, but there may be associated equipment, infrastructure costs and electricity costs for customers to consider. 1 0

Working with SCE s Planning 2 2

Department Customers need to inform SCE of the amount of new load that is being added to their service. A service planner will conduct a field visit to verify existing infrastructure. If the infrastructure requires an upgrade, SCE will work with the customer to achieve their proposed want date. Customer requirements, timeframes, and costs can vary from site to site. Allowances are granted based on the amount of the load that is being added. 2 3
