UCSF’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) Logistics Department is proud to announce a major milestone in campus sustainability: the launch of a fleet electrification and EV charging infrastructure project at Oyster Point, made possible through a strategic partnership with PG&E’s EV Fleet Program.
On August 18, 2025, UCSF and PG&E finalized a contract that will deliver transformative support for UCSF’s medium-duty fleet. PG&E will provide up to $228,000 in rebates—partially offsetting the acquisition of eight electric vehicles and eight EV chargers. In addition, PG&E will contribute over $1 million in in-kind services for To-The-Meter (TTM) electrical service construction, laying the groundwork for long-term electrification.
This investment is complemented by UCSF-funded Behind-the-Meter (BTM) construction of ten EV charging stations, eight of which are part of the EV Fleet Program. The project reflects UCSF’s commitment to reducing emissions, modernizing logistics operations, and supporting California’s clean transportation goals.
Electrifying UCSF’s Delivery Network
This project is a key step toward full electrification of the SCM Logistics delivery fleet, which supports gas cylinder, package, mail, and equipment delivery to UCSF locations campus-wide. By transitioning to electric vehicles, UCSF is advancing its sustainability goals while improving operational efficiency across its essential services.
This initiative was led by Tracey Tuyen of the UCSF Sustainability Office, whose coordination and persistence were instrumental in securing the PG&E contract and aligning stakeholders across UCSF. Her leadership ensured that technical, legal, and operational components came together seamlessly.
SCM Logistics (Mel Maxwell, Mark Choi) worked closely with the Sustainability Office and Facilities (Johnny Wong, Tim Fowle), with critical support from:
- Utilities & Energy – John Rosendo, Patrick Dwyer, Paul Landry
- Planning – Paul Franke
- UCSF Legal – Carol Robertson
- Risk Management – Meg Cody
Together, these teams navigated complex planning, legal, and infrastructure requirements to move the project forward.
Construction is slated to begin this fall, with charger installation and vehicle deployment expected in early 2026. The Oyster Point site will serve as a model for future electrification efforts across UCSF’s logistics and operations footprint.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue to build a cleaner, more efficient future—one charger at a time.
