The December 8 Drive Forward Truck Forum meeting on ZEV infrastructure will focus on proactive grid upgrades to support future charging infrastructure for fleets. Electrical utilities Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric will share how they evaluate pending electrical loads to identify where grid upgrades are needed before service requests are filed, the information they need to support funding for proactive grid upgrades, and how state and local government fleets can help inform these decisions. The purpose of this discussion is to support state and local government fleet compliance with the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation and will have no effect on existing or pending regulations.
This meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 8, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Drive Forward Truck Forum meetings include existing panel members and invited guests who participate in the moderated discussion.

Background
This work group focusing on infrastructure, established in 2023, was formerly referred to as the Truck Regulation Implementation Group, or TRIG, focusing on infrastructure.

Presentations and recordings of past TRIG meetings are available on the ZE Infrastructure website and the ACF Meetings and Events website.
Drive Forward Initiative
The Drive Forward initiative reaffirms California’s leadership in clean air and climate policy, setting the course for the next phase of the state’s light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle programs.
Drive Forward continues California’s commitment to meet state and national air quality standards, achieve climate and clean air goals, and protect public health through strong vehicle standards. Drive Forward will support the development of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle regulations, incentive programs, outreach and education, and supportive programs and policies that enable clean vehicle use. This effort will build on existing tools and resources key to advancement of clean technologies
