The California Energy Commission recently announced $55 million in funding to expand the Golden State’s public EV fast charging infrastructure. California is the leading electric vehicle and EV charging state in the US by far. Of course, this status has a lot to do with public policy. The state of California has planned to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in California by 2035.

Adding many new fast chargers for members of the public supports greater EV adoption. Greater EV charging infrastructure is the top solution to “range anxiety,” not waiting for EVs to have 600 miles of range, which is not necessary.
