Pacific Gas & Electric has proposed a three-year phased in approach to building 7,500 electric vehicle charging stations in California, a scaled-back version of its previous plan to built 25,000 stations, Greentech Media reports. The proposal, filed Oct. 12 with state regulators, has two paths for state regulators to evaluate. A compliance option would build 2,510 charging stations for $87 million. The enhanced, three year option, would see the utility install 2,510 in the first two years, and 7,500 by the end of three. That preferred option would cost $222 million and in both cases costs would be recovered through the rate base.
