Short-run ferries, which include those traveling less than 3 nautical miles over a single run, will be required to be fully zero-emission by the end of 2025, according to the California Air Resources Board.
The project will be supported by infrastructure built by PG&E as part of the utility's electric vehicle fleet program.
"We are very excited that the Angel Island will be the first of the short-run ferries in California to be 100 percent zero-emission, as our company continues supporting the natural environment of the Bay and our beautiful state park," said McDonogh. "The Angel Island ferry is an important part of California history and Bay Area tourism, carrying hundreds of thousands of visitors to Angel Island State Park for nearly a half-century. We are excited to support and collaborate on its conversion to an electric propulsion vessel," said Lydia Krefta, PG&E's director for clean energy transportation.
"The increased energy requirement per mile shows the significant challenge associated with electrifying the marine sector," Balch said.
