The City of Chula Vista, Calif., and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) unveiled a new electric vehicle fleet of 15 cars and an array of charging stations at City Hall. The fleet consists of 12 battery-electric Hyundai Ioniqs and three Chevrolet Bolts, according to a release from the city.
The vehicles are funded by Measure P, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2016. They will be deployed to the senior volunteer patrol units and code enforcement officers. Later this year, the city intends to double its fleet of low and zero-emission vehicles, bringing the total to 30.
