SANTA BARBARA, CA – November 10, 2026

Santa Barbara Clean Energy (SBCE) is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday, November 17, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. to highlight Santa Barbara Clean Energy’s Charge Up SB program. Intended for multifamily property owners and managers, the webinar will detail the program’s free technical assistance services and generous incentives for electric vehicle (EV) charger installations at multifamily properties.

“Adding EV charging to multifamily properties can be challenging, particularly when it comes to planning and design, installation costs, and permitting,” said Jefferson Litten, Energy & Climate Division Manager. “Charge Up SB helps property owners navigate these steps and access available incentives, making it easier to bring charging options to more residents.”
