Tesla-enthusiasts, get ready for the Model S, Tesla’s vision for the new family sedan!  We know it has been a long wait, but Tesla’s second brainchild is finally here.  Over the past 3 years, Tesla has earned a reputation for defying expectations.  They started off with a bang with their first model, a snappy little all-electric sports car called the Tesla Roadster.  The Roadster has proven to be one of the fastest, coolest, and most eye-catching electric vehicles on the market, and Tesla isn’t stopping there.

The City of San Diego has recently released its technical policy related to the accessibility of EVSE installations.

While this is not always the case, documents like the technical policy help to mitigate these issues.

Multi‐unit dwelling (MUD) is a generic term for a spectrum of multi‐unit residences including but not limited to apartment buildings, attached and detached housing units within a community, high rise buildings, mobile home communities and others. Installing an electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) in a multi‐unit dwelling (MUD) presents a number of barriers. With approximately half of San Diego’s residents living in MUDs and roughly 80% of PEV charging taking place at home, reducing the barriers to installing EVSE at MUDs will improve future PEV adoption.
