The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved a $1.4 billion investment plan to boost California's electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. This plan, part of Governor Gavin Newsom's California Climate Commitment, prioritizes deploying infrastructure for a variety of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) across the state, focusing on benefiting lower-income and disadvantaged communities. The funding will be distributed over the next four years, with at least 50% targeted towards these communities. California aims to expand its existing network of chargers and refueling stations to accommodate the increase in ZEV adoption. With nearly 17,000 new chargers planned for passenger vehicles, the state expects to have around 250,000 chargers in the coming years. Additionally, the plan includes incentives and rebate programs for various entities to facilitate the installation of chargers. The Clean Transportation Program, initiated in 2007, has been instrumental in advancing climate change policies, with significant investments in ZEV infrastructure, alternative fuels, and advanced vehicle technologies. The program has already benefitted communities, installed thousands of chargers, and supported the development of hydrogen fueling stations. This move towards a cleaner transportation future aligns with California's focus on ZEVs, clean fuel production, public transit enhancements, and workforce training. The state is committed to reducing gasoline price spikes and promoting economic growth through ZEV-related manufacturing projects and job training programs.
