The Program
The California Energy Commission (CEC) together with ClipperCreek have funded a program to upgrade existing publicly available EV charging infrastructure to the new SAE J1772 charging standard that has been adopted universally by all the BEV (battery electric vehicle) and PHEV(plug in hybrid electric vehicle) automakers in the US. Together, the CEC and ClipperCreek have funded 100% of this upgrade so that it will be at NO COST, to the site owner.

requirements:
1.) Charge site must be accessible to the general public.
2.) Electrical infrastructure for EV charging must be in place at the site, at the desired install location (208/240V, 40A branch circuit).
3.) 1 SPI (Small Paddle Inductive) charger must remain in place where SPI chargers are currently installed.
4.) Site owner must agree to allow ClipperCreek to collect kWh usage information from the grant funded equipment.
