Additionally, MPD said DUIs are not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and marijuana may interfere with driving capabilities. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines, penalties, and a suspended license.

Gas company giant opening first-of-its-kind EV charging station in SF
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — One of the nation's largest gas companies is doing something it hasn't done in the Bay Area. Shell is opening its first electric vehicle charging station in the Bay Area this summer, a company spokesperson told This Shell Recharge EV charging hub is located in San Francisco's Sunset District at 19th Avenue and Kirkham Street. It is the former location of a smog check center and auto repair shop. The charging station is similarly sized to most Shell gas stations across the country. The hub can charge up to 12 vehicles at a time, a Shell spokesperson said. There will be chargers with CCS connectors and speeds of up to 360kW. 'We are excited to open our first Shell Recharge EV charging hub in the Bay Area this summer,' Shell said in a statement. 'We look forward to bringing fast and convenient EV charging to this vibrant neighborhood.'

Despite being primarily known as a gas company, Shell has announced its plans to prioritize clean energy. Its goal is to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050. Shell first contacted the San Francisco City Planning Department in 2021 about a permit to demolish the auto repair shop occupying the space at that time, a city spokesperson told Shell withdrew its application but then met with city officials in late 2022 to restart talks about taking over that space. Eventually, Shell obtained the demolition permit in 2024 from the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. The gas company then began construction to turn the auto repair shop space into an EV charging station. About 11 percent of new car registrations are EVs, according to a 2022 report released by San Francisco city officials. The city has a goal of 2,000 public stations by 2025 and at least 5,000 by 2030. According to Electrek, there are currently 1,152 public charging ports in San Francisco.
