SACRAMENTO \u2014\u00a0Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that there are now 201,180 fully public and shared electric vehicle (EV) charging ports available for use throughout the state. This is 68% more EV charger ports than the number of gasoline nozzles statewide,\u00a0according to the California Energy Commission (CEC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, the Governor announced\u00a0clean truck sales<\/a>\u00a0continued to rise in California in 2024, with zero-emission models representing nearly 1 in 4 of all new truck sales.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the state of California, 94% of people now live within just 10 minutes of an EV charger. We\u2019re proving that electric vehicles are here to stay \u2013 even as Trump sells out American innovation and jobs to China.\u201d<\/h4>\n

California\u2019s growing number of publicly available EV chargers can be found at highly accessible locations like grocery stores, parking lots, and even gas stations. Shared chargers can be found at apartment complexes, workplaces, sports facilities, and other parking areas. This statewide network of public and shared chargers is in addition to the estimated 800,000 EV chargers installed in single family homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this expanding public network, EV chargers are becoming ubiquitous in California,\u201d\u00a0said CEC Commissioner Nancy Skinner.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cOur goal is to make driving an EV a no-brainer choice for Californians. They are fun to drive, never need an oil change, don\u2019t cause smog, and it\u2019s getting easier to charge your vehicle with public EV infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal ZEV incentives end September 30<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress, federal incentives are ending on September 30.\u00a0Tax credits up to $7,500<\/a>\u00a0are available until then for purchase or lease of eligible new ZEVs, which include EVs and hydrogen-fueled vehicles, and up to $4,000 for eligible used ones. Federal incentives for at-home charging and associated battery storage are also available, up to $1,000.<\/p>\n

California is charging ahead<\/h2>\n

State agencies recently published\u00a0a report<\/a>\u00a0in response to Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s executive order reaffirming the state\u2019s commitment to ZEV adoption. While the federal government wants to keep us hooked on gas, California is charging ahead in the fight for clean air for all.<\/p>\n

California is tearing down barriers to ZEV adoption and providing financial and other assistance to speed up EV charger deployment including in low-income areas and rural communities.<\/p>\n

California state agencies continue efforts to speed up EV charger installation and plan for increasing grid demand. This includes:<\/p>\n
