<\/p>\nSacramento, CA…California today approved a plan for nearly $3 billion in funding for 90,000 new electric vehicle chargers in the state, accelerating the state\u2019s transition to clean transportation.\u00a0 The California Energy Commission (CEC) today approved a record $2.9 billion clean transportation investment plan \u2013 a 30x increase in funding from 2019 levels. The funding will double the state\u2019s charging network from 80,000 publicly available\u00a0chargers to 170,000, keeping the state on track to achieve its goal of 250,000 chargers installed by 2025.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornia is bringing our roads and highways into the 21st Century with electric vehicle chargers in every community, in every corner of our state,\u201d said Governor Gavin Newsom. \u201cWe are transforming transportation in California and scaling climate action in ways only California can \u2013 with jobs, innovation and health at the heart of our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The funds support the deployment of thousands of zero-emission trucks, school buses and transit buses to deliver clean air benefits and good paying jobs to neighborhoods across the state, and especially to communities hit hardest by the impacts of pollution from trucks and buses. At least half of the funding will benefit low-income and historically disadvantaged communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
California surpassed\u00a0one million ZEV sales<\/a>\u00a0in 2021 and leads the country in all ZEV market metrics including the highest level of public funding, the largest EV market share percentage of nearly 18%, and the most extensive public charging infrastructure. The success of the state\u2019s programs has led to ZEVs becoming\u00a0a top export<\/a>\u00a0and has spurred major advances in\u00a0manufacturing<\/a>\u00a0and job creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sacramento, CA…California today approved a plan for nearly $3 billion in funding for 90,000 new electric vehicle chargers in the state, accelerating the state\u2019s transition to clean transportation.\u00a0 The California Energy Commission (CEC) today approved a record $2.9 billion clean transportation investment plan \u2013 a 30x increase in funding from 2019 levels.
