In a significant move towards sustainability, Southern California Edison (SCE), one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, is set to deploy more than 280 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Trucks (WTs) into its service fleet. This initiative underscores SCE’s commitment to achieving a 100% electric light-duty fleet while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs.
The Silverado EV WT, designed as a powerful and reliable all-electric pickup, aligns perfectly with SCE’s goals. Known for its durability and zero-emission performance, the Silverado EV WT is built to handle demanding jobs without relying on gasoline.
“The deployment represents a pivotal step in SCE’s commitment to electrify our fleet and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Todd Carlson, Principal Manager of Fleet for Southern California Edison. “At SCE, we’re committed to leading by example in California’s clean energy transformation. Working with partners like Chevrolet allows us to integrate high-performing electric vehicles while improving SoCal’s air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
SCE’s adoption of these EV trucks reflects its broader strategy to advance clean energy solutions and set an example for utilities nationwide.
Sandor Piszar, Vice President of GM Envolve, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are excited to help innovative customers like Southern California Edison meet their electrification goals with the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT as part of their fleet transformation. The Silverado EV WT combines the performance and reliability commercial customers expect with the benefits and low cost of ownership of electric propulsion.”
With this deployment, SCE continues to lead the charge in integrating sustainable practices into its operations while contributing to California’s clean energy future.
