California Energy Commission Assembly Bill (AB) 2127 Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Assessment.
According to the California Energy Commission’s EV Charging Infrastructure Assessment
- As of January 2021, California has installed more than 70,000 public and shared chargers, including nearly 6,000 direct current fast chargers.
- This report finds that an additional 123,000 are planned, of which about 3,600 are fast chargers. This leaves a gap of about 57,000 installations, including 430 fast chargers, from the 250,000 charger goal for 2025.
- For passenger vehicle charging in 2030, this report projects over 700,000 public and shared private chargers are needed to support 5 million ZEVs as envisioned in the AB 2127 legislation.
- For the 8 million ZEVs anticipated by 2030 under the more ambitious Executive Order N-79-20 goals, nearly 1.2 million chargers will be needed for light-duty vehicles. An additional 157,000 chargers are needed to support the 180,000 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles anticipated for 2030.
- More charging stations particularly fast-charging stations need to be built so that drivers can take long distance trips
