With increasing numbers of electric vehicles hitting the road in the San Diego region, the demand for public charging infrastructure is growing. Thanks to the EV Project, a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy and ECOtality, San Diego businesses have the opportunity to host charging stations at greatly reduced rates. ECOtality, along with San Diego Gas & Electric will be hosting a forum for potential hosts on Wednesday January 25th at SDG&E’s Energy Innovation Center. More information and registration for this free forum can be found here.
Blink units are now popping up through the San Diego region, and hundreds more are expected in the coming months. Business interested in hosting a unit should act soon as incentives will be expiring soon

The San Diego County based recycling and disposal company EDCO is now collecting vegetable oils and grease at all five of its recycling centers in the County for eventual conversion to biodiesel. The locations in La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Fallbrook, Ramona, and San Marcos will be accepting oil and grease during normal recycling hours and shipping it to New Leaf Biofuel, San Diego’s only local producer of biodiesel.
Fats, oils, and greases can cause sewer backups when poured down the drain, but can be processed into a sustainable biofuel when properly collected. Restaurants can continue to enjoy grease collection service directly from New Leaf, but now consumers have the chance to contribute to clean transportation fuels at the same time they drop off their recycling at any EDCO location.
