EV Charging Stations
Season 2024
Episode 55
Under California's landmark electric car mandate, 68% of all new 2030 models sold in the state must be zero emissions, increasing to 100% for 2035. To meet that target, 129,000 new chargers must be built every year for the next seven years. Then the pace would have to further accelerate to reach a target of 2.1 million chargers in 2035.
